Can gingivitis heal itself?
Gingivitis is difficult to heal on its own and requires corresponding treatment. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gum tissue, characterized by redness of the gums, swelling, pus leakage, or bleeding during brushing and eating, with bleeding during brushing being a common symptom that often prompts timely medical attention. Examination of the teeth can reveal a large amount of dental plaque, tartar, or biofilm around the gum area. In such cases, timely dental cleaning is necessary to remove these deposits. During the removal process, bleeding from the gums may worsen, and it may be necessary to apply medication around the gums, using anti-inflammatory drugs to help alleviate the inflammation. If the inflammation is controlled, gingivitis may be managed, but without treatment, gingivitis cannot heal by itself.
