Gingivitis is the earliest and most treatable stage of gum disease. It causes inflammation, redness and bleeding of the gums — but at this stage no bone has been lost and the condition is largely reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. At Envy Smile near Paddington, gingivitis treatment is straightforward and effective.
Gingivitis Treatment at Envy Smile
"I went there for my dental emergency and the lovely lady at reception kindly let me in for a check-up. They did a quick X-ray followed by cleaning which actually worked. The doctor was understanding and explained the cause and advised me correctly. Definitely recommended."Patient Review ★★★★★
Gingivitis occurs when plaque — the sticky bacterial film on teeth — is not adequately removed by brushing and flossing. The bacteria in plaque produce toxins that irritate the gum tissue, causing it to become inflamed, red and prone to bleeding. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to the more serious and irreversible periodontitis.
At Envy Smile near Paddington, gingivitis treatment begins with a professional scale and polish (from £85) to remove the plaque and tartar that your toothbrush cannot reach — combined with personalised oral hygiene instruction to improve your home care routine. In most cases, gingivitis resolves completely with this approach, provided good oral hygiene is maintained at home.
