The Fundamentals
Gingivitis is the inflammation of gums, accompanied by redness, swelling, and a tendency to bleed. The most common cause is improper dental hygiene; however, other causes include poorly fitting dentures, poor occlusion, and it may occur in deficiency diseases, including blood dyscrasias, scurvy, or even metallic poisoning. Certain types of gingivitis, though uncommon, should be treated with a physician's care (i.e. gingivitis gravidum, or a type that results in extensive ulcerations: phagedenic gingivitis). Nevertheless, the most common type is generally addressed through proper dental hygiene. Herbs traditionally used in oral care are discussed in the center column of this page.
Additional aid can be obtained by rinsing the mouth regularly with a saline or hydrogen peroxide solution. Your physician can provide specific advise on its use in your case.
In advanced cases, the use of antibiotics is employed. Penicillin or metronidazole is effective in many of these instances.
