Sensitive gums: causes, prevention and effective treatment with emmi-dent

Main causes of sensitive gums

Sensitive gums are a common complaint that is closely associated with teeth sensitivity and often caused by gum recession. This recession exposes the necks of the teeth, leaving them vulnerable to pain sensitivity. The causes of sensitive gums are many, including excessive pressure when brushing, the use of hard toothbrushes, hormonal changes in the body, and genetic factors. Sensitive teeth and gums can also be exacerbated by inflamed gums, a condition often caused by poor oral hygiene or smoking.

For those suffering from sensitive gums, it is recommended to use soft toothbrushes or toothbrushes with soft bristles to spare the gums and prevent further damage. Specialized dental products, such as those from emmi-dent, offer an effective triple action and are clinically proven to protect sensitive teeth while relieving gum inflammation. These products help to prevent gum irritation and provide proven protection for sensitive teeth by reducing plaque build-up and preventing tartar formation.

It is important to use gentle techniques to clean teeth. Aggressive movements should be avoided. An ultrasonic toothbrush is ideal because it can be held still against the teeth to thoroughly clean the sensitive spaces between the teeth without irritating the gums. Interdental brushes are important tools for cleaning and can help to sooth sensitive gums and promote healthy gums. Regular appointments with a dentist for professional teeth cleaning are also crucial to minimize the risk of gum disease and detect early signs of problems.

Prevention and oral hygiene

Thorough and gentle oral hygiene is essential to prevent gum problems and to avoid making existing complaints worse. It is important to use techniques that do not irritate the gums, such as avoiding aggressive zigzag movements and applying little pressure when brushing. Interdental brushes and dental floss are important tools for cleaning the spaces between the teeth, where plaque and bacteria can easily accumulate. Professional teeth cleaning at the dentist's office can also help to thoroughly remove tartar and reduce the risk of gum inflammation. Regular appointments at the dentist's office are important to detect early signs of gum problems and treat them accordingly.

Gingivitis and Periodontitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Gingivitis and periodontitis are both inflammatory diseases of the gums, but they differ in their causes, symptoms, and severity.

Gingivitis is a mild form of gum inflammation caused by plaque build-up along the gum line. Symptoms include redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums when brushing or flossing. Good oral hygiene can usually reverse and prevent gingivitis.

If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease. In addition to inflamed gums, periodontitis can also cause the destruction of the periodontium, which can lead to tooth loss. Symptoms of periodontitis include deep gum pockets, pus formation and loose teeth. Professional dental treatment is necessary to stop the progression of the disease.

Both conditions are caused by poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetic predisposition, diabetes, hormonal changes and certain medications. Regular dental check-ups and consistent oral care are crucial to minimize the risk.

Treatment for gingivitis includes a thorough tooth cleaning and improved oral hygiene. For periodontitis, a deeper cleaning may be necessary, such as root planing and sometimes surgical intervention. As a preventive measure, regular teeth cleanings, brushing twice a day, flossing and a healthy diet will help.

Early detection and treatment are crucial to avoid long-term damage and maintain oral health.

Natural home remedies and other tips

To soothe sensitive gums, regular oral hygiene and natural home remedies such as salt water rinses are effective. These can alleviate inflammation and reduce pain in sensitive gums. Camomile tea, known for its soothing properties, serves as a gentle mouthwash that alleviates the symptoms of gum disease. An ultrasonic toothbrush or gently massaging the gums with a soft toothbrush can promote blood circulation and aid healing, while a vitamin-rich diet strengthens oral health and improves gum resilience.
