Can gingivitis be cured

Answer 1

Yes, if you go to a dentist, he will remove the plaque that causes the swollen gum. Plaque builts up when we dont' brush and floss like we ought to; causing singns of gingivitis(red purple swollen gums). Brushing and flossing will avoid gingivits symtoms.

Answer 2

Yes, antibiotics does help gingivitis. Gingivitis is caused by poor dental/mouth hygiene, which causes plaque - a sticky deposit on teeth in which bacteria proliferate.

Antibiotics will kill the bacteria, and give the gums a chance to heal, and hopefully get back to a normal condition.

But antibiotics alone won't help much, other than stopping or mayby only slowing down the process, in the period the patient is treated with antibiotics.

Flossing, using some sort of disinfecting mouthwash, and regular toothbrushing is important for a good result.

In any case the patient should see a dentist, to get a professionals opinion, and maybe have tartar removed from the teeth.

Answer 3

Antibiotics as a treatment for a tooth infection is only a temporary solution. As soon as you stop taking the antibiotic, the infection is likely to return. This because antibiotics do not treat the cause of the infection (decay or gum disease). The cause of the infection needs to be addressed with definitive treatment.

Answer 4

You can only get rid of gum disease by brushing twice daily for 2 minutes each time and flossing daily along with dental treatment specific to your type of gum disease. Antibiotics only help.....but do nothing if you are not treating the root of the problem AKA poor oral hygiene.

Answer 5

No you cannot. It has to run it's course.
