Gingivitis from a Holistic Perspective

Gingivitis is a very common condition with over 80% of Americans suffering from some form of gum disease. Gums are the mucosal tissues that surround the teeth and gingivitis refers to the inflammation of the gums or gingiva. It is caused due to the bacteria that accumulate and grow in between the teeth and gums. This causes inflammation, pain and bleeding. Poor oral hygiene is the most common cause of Gingivitis. If not treated, the infection can spread to the teeth and the underlying bone.

Causes of Gingivitis

Gingivitis begins with irritation of the gums. This is caused by the plaque that accumulates between the teeth and gums. Plaque is formed from the sugar and starch we consume. Plaque has to be removed by brushing and flossing the teeth daily, because it re-forms very quickly.

If plaque is not removed properly every day, it develops into a harder substance called tartar or calculus. This becomes a reservoir in which bacteria thrive. Once tartar develops, teeth need to be cleaned by a dentist every 3 to 4 months. The longer tartar remains on the teeth, the more it irritates the gums. Such prolonged irritation leads to swelling and pain in the gums.

Other causes of gingivitis, besides plaque, are as follows:

• Vigorous brushing can cause injury, inflammation and infection
• Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, diabetes and puberty, increases the susceptibility of gums to developing infection
• Certain drugs like anti-seizure medications, birth-control pills and immunosuppressants may also cause gingivitis
• Misaligned teeth and poorly fitted crowns and bridges can cause gingivitis
• Chewing of tobacco and smoking increases the risk of developing gingivitis
• Sudden-onset gingivitis may be due to viral infection and has to be treated accordingly.

Signs and Symptoms of Gingivitis

The Signs and Symptoms include:

• Swollen gums
• Bright-red shiny gums
• Putrid smell from the mouth
• Easily bleeding gums
• Pus oozing out of the gums
• Pain on applying pressure to the gums

Diagnosis of Gingivitis

A naked-eye examination of the gums and oral cavity is all that is required to diagnose Gingivitis. An X-ray may be required to check the spread of infection if it is chronic.

Allopathic gingivitis treatments include anti-septic mouthwashes and dental flossing which give symptomatic relief but do not cure gingivitis. These gum treatments give spontaneous relief from the symptoms but do not remove the tendency of plaque formation.

• The main aspect of treatment is to keep the teeth clean. This can be done with proper brushing and flossing. Scaling may also be done to remove the plaque, tartar and calculus from the teeth. Scaling is can be rather painful, especially if there is extensive tartar.
• Once scaling is done, proper oral hygiene needs to be maintained to prevent recurrence. An antiseptic mouthwash is beneficial in preventing bacterial infections.
• Oral irrigation is an effective way of keeping the teeth and gums clean and free of food particles and bacteria. It is done by flooding the mouth with a jet of water under pressure.
• Gingivitis can be prevented by using the right tooth-brush and brushing in the right way.

Complementary Natural Care

The reason why your gingivitis recurs is that you only seek symptomatic relief. In order to completely rid your gums of gingivitis, you have to address the reasons your gums are susceptible to inflammation, pain and infection in the first place. Natural remedies aim to provide wholesome relief by working on the tendency of gum inflammation, infection and improving the body’s immune response.
