Gingivitis ( gingival inflammation ) is an inflammatory gum disease that occurs under the influence of local and common damaging factors, without the formation of dentogingival pockets and with the preservation of the integrity of the dentogingival attachment. Gingivitis occurs in children, adolescents and adults.
Here we will talk about the symptoms and treatment of various forms of gingivitis, how to treat and how to rinse the mouth with gum inflammation at home.
The disease can be caused by:
- lesions of the gastrointestinal tract,
- of the nervous system, blood,
- vitamin deficiencies,
- poisoning with heavy metal salts,
- infectious diseases.
Gingivitis is often observed:
- in pregnancy,
- in menopause,
- in puberty.
CONTENTS
Causes of gingivitis: what causes inflammation of the gums
Gingivitis is a poly-elyal disease that occurs under the influence ofm general and local damaging factors.
Local factors include:
- gum injuries,
- plaque,
- supragingival and subgingival tartar deposits,
- incorrectly installed seals, dentures,
- abnormal attachment of the frenum of the tongue, lips,
- abnormal arrangement of the teeth.
Common factors contributing to the development of gingivitis include:
- vitamin Vitamin A, C, E;group B,
- , the presence of pathology of phosphorus-calcium and other types of metabolism;
- immunodeficiency states,
- hormonal disorders,
- allergic reactions,
- pathology of cardiovascular, nervous, digestive systems.
Forms, Types of
Under the influence of damaging factors there is an inflammatory reaction in the gum tissue. Depending on the duration of the disease, there are:
- acute gingivitis;
- chronic gingivitis.
Depending on the prevalence of the inflammatory process, gingivitis is isolated:
- generalized gingivitis;
- localized gingivitis.
In addition, according to the morphological features - in terms of the degree of lesion - distinguish:
- catarrhal gingivitis,
- hypertrophic gingivitis,
- ulcerative necrotic gingivitis.

Patients presentcomplaints of pain in the gum area, increasing with food intake, intermittent bleeding. There is an unpleasant smell from the mouth, increased salivation, a burning sensation.
Diagnosis
Based on complaints, history data, objective examination. It is necessary to conduct a roentgenography of the oral cavity. Differential diagnosis is performed with periodontitis, periodontitis, periodontitis.
Treatment of gingivitis at home
All local and general factors that predispose to the development of gum disease should be eliminated, and hygiene should be observed. Affected areas of the gums are treated with antiseptics, necrotic masses are removed( in outpatient and outpatient settings).
Treatment of gingivitis should be comprehensive, taking into account the underlying disease.
Required:
- sanitation of the oral cavity,
- treatment of carious and pulpit teeth,
- elimination of traumatic moments( fitting of dentures, removal of dental deposits).
Than to gargle gums with inflammation
Daily mouthwashes are shown:
- with a weak solution of manganese,

- Gingivitis is hypertrophic.
- Gingivitis ulcerative-necrotic( gingivitis of Vincent).
Localized gingivitis: symptoms, treatment
Localized gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that occurs under the influence of local and general damaging factors, without the formation of dentogingival pockets and with the preservation of the integrity of the dentogingival attachment.
Causes of localized gingival inflammation
Localized gingivitis is caused by local damaging factors. Most often its development is caused by:
- trauma during chewing, when brushing teeth,
- jammed food pieces between teeth,
- plaque present,
- supragingival and subgingival deposits of calculus,
- incorrectly installed seals, dentures,
- abnormal attachment of the tongue bridle,lips,
- abnormal arrangement of teeth.
Symptoms, Diagnosis
Local pathogenic factors lead to mucosal damage and blood flow disorders. As a result, an inflammatory reaction develops in the tissues of the gum.
In the case of acute , localized gingival inflammation shows increased pain during eating. When examining the oral cavity, there is a presence of a hypertrophic edematous hyperemic papilla of the gum, located in the gap between the teeth.
With chronic , gingivitis patients complain about the appearance of a feeling of awkwardness, tenderness in the area of the interdental gum, which occurs after removal of the jammed food piece.
When examining the oral cavity draw attention to areas of gingival atrophy, the presence of cyanosis and edema. There may be bleeding ulcers.
When X-ray examination reveals retained interdental septa.
Diagnosis is conducted on the basis of complaints, data of anamnesis, objective examination. It is necessary to conduct a roentgenography of the oral cavity. Differential diagnosis of is performed with periodontitis, periodontitis, periodontitis.
Treatment of local gingival inflammation
It is necessary to perform:
- local antiseptic treatment of the site of inflammation with broad-spectrum antibiotics,
- analgesia,
- removal of necrotic tissues,
- restoration of the contact point between teeth by sealing or by using special tabs.
Generalized Gingivitis: Symptoms, Treatment
In generalized form of gingivitis, gingivitis also occurs due to local and general damaging factors, there is no formation of dentogingival pockets, dentogingival attachment preserves integrity.

Symptoms of extensive gingival inflammation
With acute catarrhal gingivitis patients complain of pain in the gum area, the appearance of burning sensation in the oral cavity. When examining the oral cavity there are hyperemia of the gums, their swelling, bleeding.

When hypertrophic gingivitis occurs the formation of false pathological pockets, the subgingival stone is deposited. Often in such patients an anomaly of the location of the teeth is detected. At x-ray examination, the interdental spaces are within the normal range.
With ulcerative-necrotic , gingivitis of patients is disturbed by severe pain in the oral cavity, in which food intake becomes impossible. There is a fetid smell from the mouth, profuse salivation. Sores in the mouth can spread from the gums to the entire mucous membrane of the mouth. Sores often bleed. There is also a worsening of the general condition, the temperature rises up to hectic, enlarged painful lymph nodes, diseased flabby, adynamic ones are revealed.
When examining the oral cavity on the surface of sores, dirty gray easily removable necrotic membranes are revealed. When removing films, the surface is dark red, bleeding easily. The gingival papillae are atrophied, muddy, painful on palpation.
