How Are Gingivitis And Periodontitis Treated?
For gingivitis, the primary treatment is focused on removing the plaque and tartar buildup from teeth through a process called scaling. Patients should practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, and may use an antiseptic mouthwash after meals.
In some cases, antibiotics or prescription mouthwash may also be prescribed to help fight the infection. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also important in preventing and treating gingivitis.
