I have gingivitis and continuous pain in the area of gums just near the teeth endings. Can it be treated at home. If yes then how?

Question

We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning along with surgical curettage or gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meals. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks.

Dear Lybrate user pls check if you have plaque or any abnormal deposits in your teeth. Because in that case scaling is required. Stress, smoking, hormonal imbalance, improper oral hygiene, improper diet have negative impacts on gingival health for home care I advice you brushing twice daily. Donot use vigorous and horizontol strokes for brushing. 3 mins of brushing is sufficient. There are numerous techniques for brushing you can learn the one most suitable for you from some nearby dentist or you can text me for the same use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouth wash to rinse your oral cavity for 15 days warm salt water rinses 3-4 times daily include vit c rich food like citrus fruits aamla kiwi etc, salad ,green leafy vegetables.
