Gingivitis refers to the inflammation of gums. It mostly results from the non-maintenance of oral hygiene. Poor dental hygiene leads to plaque formation on teeth. Plaque finds a resting place in between the teeth gaps and along the gum lining. And this plaque, if not removed by brushing daily, hardens and irritates the gum line leading to gum inflammation. Other risk factors include diabetes, tobacco use, smoking, advancing age, poor nutrition and dryness of the mouth. The symptoms of gingivitis include swollen, bleeding, and painful gums. The gums appear dark red/purple, soft and puffy with a receding gum line. Halitosis (bad breath) and caries in teeth often accompany this condition. If not treated well on time, the disease advances, eventually leading to the falling of teeth.
The homeopathic mode of treatment is very effective in treating gingivitis. It can treat gingivitis of both recent and chronic nature. The swelling, pain and bleeding from gums are wonderfully controlled with homeopathic medicines. These medicines, if started well in time, help treat the acute symptoms of gingivitis as well as prevent complications like periodontitis (serious gum infection causing tooth loss). In conventional mode, dental cleaning procedures are advised to treat cases of gingivitis. Such procedures give short-term relief. Homeopathic medicines boost the body’s own healing mechanism to eradicate the disease as a whole and prevent recurrence.
Homeopathy treats gingivitis from its root as homeopathic medicines act deeply and not just superficially to overcome a health issue. Its action is beyond just simply providing symptomatic relief. It treat the complaint of gingivitis from its origin and hence it is a great alternative treatment choice for gingivitis treatment.
Homeopathic medicines for gingivitis are selected individually for every case as per the characteristic signs and symptoms. With proper course of homeopathic treatment as suggested by a homeopathic doctor, most cases of gingivitis recover wonderfully and completely. The treatment period varies from a few weeks to a few months from case to case. It depends upon the duration of symptoms, the intensity of complaint and how a person responds fast to medicines.
Homeopathy offers natural, safe treatment for cases of gingivitis as it uses natural remedies devoid of any chemicals. These medicines do not cause any type of side effects under any circumstance. Homeopathic medicines are safe to use among all age groups.
