A 33-year-old female patient reported tooth mobility, bleeding and severe inflammation of the gingiva. After the disinfection treatment, gingival inflammation and dental mobility disappear, recovering the natural shape and color of the gum.
Inflammation can have different causes and it is important to identify and estimate its severity to avoid future consequences. Some causes may be:
A certain food or medication that generates inflammation and irritation in the gums.
Some hormonal changes can cause gum inflammation: pregnancy, after childbirth or during other vital stages of many changes such as puberty.
The placement of brackets often makes daily cleaning of teeth and gums difficult and promotes gum inflammation. In addition, the following article from our blog can help you understand how to use
bracket wax.
Periodontal disease is another common cause of swollen gums.
Gingivitis or periodontitis are painless diseases that cause inflammation, bleeding and destruction of the gum and bone surrounding the tooth. These are gum diseases caused by bacteria in the mouth and the absence of treatment leads to tooth mobility and, in the future, tooth loss.
The treatment of these diseases requires one or several sessions of gingival disinfection using minimally invasive mechanical instruments. Disinfection sessions interrupt bone and gum loss, restoring the shape, color, texture and healthy appearance of the gum.
