Causes and Prevention of Gum Inflammation

Unfortunately, these measures are not always sufficient, or the cleaning may be inadequate. This increases the risk of developing gum inflammation.

At TandCity in Malmö, you can receive a thorough and professional cleaning tailored to your individual needs. Certain individuals have a higher risk of developing oral diseases, such as diabetics and smokers.

Therefore, we are careful to provide each patient with completely individualized treatment for gum inflammation or other problem areas. Multiple treatments may sometimes be necessary. When required or specifically requested by the patient, we perform treatments under anesthesia.

A regular professional dental hygiene treatment consists of:

  • A clinical examination and information, including a brief gum inflammation check.
  • Aesthetic cleaning
  • Deep cleaning if necessary
  • Polishing
  • Oral Hygiene – Instructions and guidance for proper dental care
  • Recommendation of specific products, if required

What Exactly Is Periodontitis?

The first phase of periodontitis is often called gingivitis, which is gum inflammation caused by bacteria at the gum line. A characteristic sign of the inflammation is that the gums bleed when you brush your teeth or use dental floss.

If the inflammation spreads deeper into the tissues, the bone can also be affected, leading to periodontitis. Without treatment, teeth can be lost completely. Gum inflammation most often occurs due to inadequate oral hygiene, but it can also be caused by other factors such as smoking, heredity, specific bacteria, and diabetes.

To prevent or reduce the risk of periodontitis, you should maintain your oral hygiene through daily dental care, regular dental hygiene visits, and preferably quit smoking. Treatment of gum inflammation rarely involves antibiotics.

With professional teeth cleaning, you save both time and money while achieving a beautiful smile.
