With the development of caries or a number of other diseases of the patient’s teeth, severe pain begins to torment, which is difficult to relieve with the help of ordinary rinses with soda or salt. For some reason, patients cannot immediately see a dentist, so it is important to immediately take a good painkiller. Since it is not always possible to drink pills due to the presence of contraindications, you can use ointments to eliminate pain in the teeth. Below are the most effective and really help from the tools in this category. But no matter how well they help the patient, it is required to visit the doctor’s office at the first opportunity.

Cholisal for pain relief

The drug has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It quickly penetrates the tissue and reaches the center of inflammation, which reduces pain within the first few minutes after application. Thanks to the non-hormonal nature, it can be used at any age. Apply the ointment only locally, while it is desirable to do it immediately before eating. For treatment, a finger of Holisal 0.5-2 cm long is squeezed onto the finger first. The substance is gently rubbed around the sick tooth into the gum and along its surface. Repeat such manipulations no more than three times per day.

Parodontotsid also perfectly relieve discomfort due to wearing implants, braces and other dental structures. Apply the gel in two ways. One of them is the classic version, in which you just need to rub 1 cm of the drug in the affected tooth. You can repeat the manipulation three times during the day.

According to the second option, special compresses are allowed. To do this, sterile gauze is also applied 1 cm of the active substance and applied to the sore spot for 15 minutes. When using periodontal disease in this way there may be a slight burning sensation. Apply the application can also be three times a day.

Attention! The composition of the drug contains a large number of herbal ingredients. But due to the fact that most of them are ethers, periodontal disease is not used during pregnancy. It is necessary to ensure before applying that there is no allergy to at least one component in the composition, so as not to provoke puffiness.

Tetracycline for relieving toothache

Tetracycline ointment refers to antibiotics. Most often it is used to treat eye diseases  or skin lesions. But if you need a quick pain relief it can be used on the teeth. To do this, apply a small amount of ointment on the affected area. For one-time use, only one small pea drug is sufficient. Better when using Tetracycline, place it on a sterile gauze pad, which is placed on top of the sore spot. Repeat such manipulations up to 3 times per day. Keep a tampon with ointment is not worth more than 10 minutes.

Attention! Since the drug belongs to antibiotics, there are a large number of contraindications for its use, including for problems with the liver and kidneys. Before starting therapy, it is better to get acquainted with a complete list of possible contraindications, so as not to provoke a relapse of chronic diseases.

Karmolis Fitogel against toothache

The drug is distinguished by its naturalness and good tolerance among patients of all groups, including during the period of teething of milk teeth. Karmolis Fitogel should be applied every 4-6 hours, but the daily number of uses cannot exceed 3 times.

Attention! Because of the propolis and the plant esters that are part of the medication, there is a high probability of an allergic reaction in the form of a severe swelling of the mucous. If there is no confidence in the complete portability of all components or the patient is hypersensitive to some components, it is better to choose another ointment.

Argosulfan against toothache

This drug also belongs to antibacterial, therefore it has a rather powerful effect not only on the patient's tooth and gum, but also on the whole body. It should be used only in exceptional cases when there is simply nothing else at hand. Use ointment is required in the form of applications. To do this, on a sterile swab squeeze 0.5-1 cm ointment, which is applied to the sore spot for 10-20 minutes. Apply these compresses can only be twice a day for 3-4 days.

The duration of the procedure is approximately 10-20 minutes.

Attention! Like most ointments for local use, Nise does not imply applying it to a aching tooth. If possible, the drug should be replaced with tablets or powder with the same name or analogue. They have a faster effect, while only in rare cases provoke allergies or intestinal disorders.

Traumel C against discomfort

The drug is mostly used to suppress pain due to bumps, sprains, and bruises. But, if there is no other means at hand, Traumel can be used to relieve discomfort due to bad teeth, but only for a short time. To do this, use a bandage or directly on the sore gum and the tooth is applied 1 cm of gel and gently rubbed into the affected place. The ointment may burn slightly for a while, but the discomfort should not be significant. If it lasts more than 5-7 minutes, it is better to rinse your mouth in order to prevent the development of an allergic reaction in the form of swelling of the mucous of the mouth or larynx. During the day, do not apply ointment more than twice. Treatment does not continue for more than 3 days. If an application is used, it is required to keep no more than 20 minutes at the affected place.

Attention! Traumel is a homeopathic medicine, which allows its use in virtually all patients. But since it was created to suppress other types of pain and is not intended for application to mucous membranes, you should not use an ointment to treat patients with hypersensitivity, children and elderly patients after 65 years.

The cost of ointments against toothache

Attention! All prices are in national currency. Taking into account the margins of pharmacies and a particular manufacturer, the cost of the drug may vary by 5-20%.

• before using the ointment, you must rinse the mouth or brush your teeth;
• apply any of the above ointments is required only with clean hands;
• you should not apply a large amount of the drug, as this may eventually lead to an increased swelling of the tissue, which will only increase the pain;
• only non-steroid bases should be chosen for treatment. medicinesso they are as safe as possible and do not require serious medical supervision;
• if to suppress unpleasant sensations are used ointment for local application, especially antibiotics, it is required to take prebiotics that are able to protect the gastric mucosa;
• be sure to stick proper nutrition  during such a period, as foods with sugar, carbonated drinks, a large number of nuts and solid dishes only aggravate the patient's condition.

Attention! If any of the means you have chosen does not show a result within the first day, or the effectiveness only manifests itself for a short time, you should contact your dentist for help. The reason may be associated not only with tooth decay due to caries, but also with more serious problems, including cysts and granulomas.

Before using any of these medicines, you must carefully read the instructions. Even with the natural composition of the ointment, it can be harmful for a particular patient due to the individual characteristics of the organism. This will avoid many side effects and will not worsen the patient's condition due to the occurrence of complications with the affected tooth.

Each drug must be prescribed by a doctor, a fact that has long been known. Even if it is innocent enough, it is worth all the same to consult a specialist. The same applies to the means used in dentistry.

Pharmaceuticals offer today wide range  drugs for treatment inflammatory diseases  oral cavity. Most of them are available in the form of gels. This form is very easy to use. It is permanently adhered on the surface of the mucous membrane, which allows a long-term therapeutic effect. But which gel to choose better? All of them have different therapeutic effects, but not in all cases can be used.

Such drugs are prescribed in case of gingivitis, periodontitis, with injuries of various etiologies, including from orthopedic structures. They have a good analgesic effect, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect.

Most often, Cholisal, Kamistad or Kalgel are used as cooling gels especially for young children. The tools are quite safe and effective. But when using Kamistad, it is necessary to be careful in patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency. In addition, contraindications will be cardiovascular disease, pregnancy, lactation, and impaired gastrointestinal tract patency.

The gel is applied after thorough cleaning of the teeth and an antiseptic rinse on the problem area. After applying a gentle massaging motion, it is rubbed into the surface of the gum.

Anti-inflammatory gels

Pronounced inflammatory process is the main symptom of many diseases of the oral cavity. This is especially true of gingivitis and periodontitis. In these diseases, the following manifestations are observed:

Recently, Parodontotsid gel has been widely used. The tool is complex and has such actions as:

• anti-inflammatory;
• painkillers;
• antimicrobial;
• proteolytic;
• regenerating;
• preventing the formation of plaque on the enamel of the teeth;

The tool is used as an application, or simply applied to the affected area of ​​the gums with a cotton swab. After application, it is recommended to carry out massaging movements. After the procedure is to refrain from eating food and any liquid for 30 minutes.

Such gels improve the trophism of the periodontal soft tissues, improve blood and lymph circulation, strengthen the vascular wall, which helps prevent gingival bleeding. Simple way  application is brushing the teeth. It is carried out after a meal and thorough oral hygiene.

If available, Troxevasin is active. The active ingredient in its composition helps to strengthen the capillaries of the gums. Thanks to Troxevasin, their permeability and brittleness are reduced. The gel is recommended to use as a prophylactic measure, especially after the successful treatment of periodontal disease.

Chlorhexidine preparations have a pronounced therapeutic effect. These include Elugel and Elgifluor. A positive result is visible after a couple of days of application. It is recommended to apply the means at least 2-3 times a day.

These funds help not only to heal, but also to have a preventive effect on the teeth and gums. They can be safely prescribed for pregnant women and small children. But it must be remembered. What to swallow and abuse even the safest drugs are not worth it.

Regenerating and painkillers

Such an action is inherent in practical all dental gels. The most pronounced effect have:

Protefix Dental Gel

It has a complex effect. Along with the healing effect, due to the corn oil introduced into the composition, it quickly anesthetizes and reduces inflammation.

Parodium

it modern remedy  for regeneration of damaged soft tissue. Parodium relieves the sensitivity of the gums and inflammation.

7. Sage oil.

It is recommended to irrigate the oral cavity with a gel - tonic 4-5 times a day. It will not only help to regenerate the mucous membrane faster, but also strengthen the local immunity, increase the tone of the periodontal vessels and refresh the breath.

The choice of gels for inflammation of the gums is large enough. Of course, before you buy this or that tool you should consult with a dentist. It should be understood that most gels are complex products, in which various medications. Therefore, they should be used carefully, especially for people with severe allergic reactions.

With the development of the pathological process on the mucous membranes of the mouth, treatment should begin immediately. In this case, gum ointment may be included in the complex therapy.

The fight against any disease begins with the identification of the source of infection and the determination of the localization of the pathological focus. Further, proper therapy is needed to preserve the health of the gums and get rid of the disease.

Although recently, dentists are increasingly prescribed medicinal gels, ointment for the gums also has not lost its relevance and continues to help patients in eliminating unpleasant symptoms. Depending on the active component and excipients in the composition of the drug, there are various types and names of dental ointments, which we will discuss in more detail today.

The popularity of gels is currently due to their better absorption due to the fact that they are made on a water basis, absorbed faster and form a kind of film, thereby enhancing the effect. The ointment is inherently fat, is worse retained on the surface of the gum and as a result, the active ingredients penetrate into the tissue more slowly and thereby slow down the healing effect.

However, even before the advent of modern gels and other advanced dosage forms, the ointment helped a lot and was one of the mandatory means in complex therapy.

This circumstance is associated with its therapeutic effect, namely:

1. Getting directly to the focus of inflammation, it begins to act faster compared with pills.
2. Almost all the medicinal components that make up the drug do not enter the general bloodstream and do not carry negative consequences for the body.
3. Ointment for the treatment of gums helps to eliminate inflammatory process.
4. It reduces bleeding gums and their pain, stimulates fast regeneration  damaged tissue, eliminates inflammation, and is also a good antiseptic.

Most often, these drugs are auxiliary and are prescribed only in complex therapy. In addition, they are easy to use and are on the market.

Ointments for the treatment of gum disease

Inflammation never begins just like that, everything has its own reasons.

The most common predisposing factors include:

• insufficient oral hygiene and tartar formation;
• poor-quality installation of orthodontic structures (braces, dental crowns, etc.);
• avitaminosis and reduced immunity;
• the presence of bad habits;
• taking certain groups of drugs;
• the presence of acute and chronic lesions in the human body;
• hereditary factor, etc.

To reduce the risk of inflammation in the gums, you need to adhere to preventive measures, apply ointment, gel, balsam or toothpaste to strengthen the gums and just keep your teeth clean. If the pathology is still overtaken, you need to start treatment.

Warning: Currently, many drugs can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription, but this does not mean that self-medication is a completely acceptable measure. Be sure to consult your doctor and consult with him about the condition of your teeth and gums.

Heparin ointment

Heparin ointment is based on an active substance - heparin. This drug is actively used for periodontal disease.

Anti-coagulant has such a positive effect during the inflammatory process, especially with the release of purulent contents:

• reduces the adhesion and aggregation of platelets;
• relieves inflammation;
• normalizes microcirculation in damaged tissues and improves their trophism.

Since the ointment has a fatty base, a small amount of pea should be applied on the swab and applied to the pathological focus. The general medical course is a month. As a result of the treatment, swelling and pain disappear, and tissue regeneration is accelerated.

Traumel C

This is a homeopathic remedy based on mineral and herbal ingredients. It is used for periodontal disease, especially in the early stages of the disease.

It has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. Active ingredients of this drug can increase the tone of the blood wall and improve the blood supply to the tissues, resulting in reduced bleeding, swelling is eliminated and local immunity increases.

This tool is not only used for periodontal disease, it is also an effective ointment for healing gums after tooth extraction.

Troxevasin has a lot of positive points:

• strengthening the walls of blood vessels and capillaries of the gums;

It should be noted that there is no anesthetic in the composition of the ointment, i.e. there is no pronounced analgesic effect. However, with regular use, inflammation will be stopped, and with it, pain will be eliminated.

It is necessary to put means after food and carrying out hygiene procedures  twice a day, gently massaging and rubbing the drug into the gum tissue. The course of treatment is 30 days.

This remedy is used for dental problems such as flux. It is best to apply at the initial stages of the development of the disease, or after the breakthrough of the abscess. The drug is able to stop the formation of purulent exudate, prevent the reproduction and vigorous activity of pathogenic bacteria, as well as reduce pain due to castor oil and birch tar, which is part of the drug.

• stimulates regenerative processes.

Apply the product should be 3 times a day, while holding a cotton wool with ointment on the damaged area of ​​the gums for two hours.

Solcoseryl ointment

This drug enhances regenerative processes, with the result that damaged gums recover faster. It is also able to enhance collagen synthesis and activate metabolic processes in cells, improving the transport of oxygen, glucose and other nutrients.

In the form of gel Solcoseryl is applied with a thin layer on the affected area, in the form of ointment it is better to use a cotton swab.

Ointments for stomatitis

Pathogenic pathogens of stomatitis are always with us, however increased immunity, proper hygiene  Mouth and prevention of the development of dental diseases suppress the beginning of their vigorous activity. Pathology can occur at any age.

Depending on the type of pathogen and the severity of the process, stomatitis can be classified into 3 types:

1. In the mild stage, there is pain, bleeding and swelling of the gums, salivation increases, the patient's general well-being is satisfactory.
2. With moderate severity, the contours of the gum tissue begin to distort, necrotic spots and a fetid odor from the mouth appear. Purulent exudate accumulates, nearby lymph nodes increase, symptoms of intoxication appear.
3. In severe stage, body temperature is greatly increased, and the pathological process affects not only the gums and oral mucosa, but also rushes deeper, affecting the bone tissue.

In this case, appointed ointment for the treatment of gums, as well as other drugs, depending on the neglect of stomatitis and the patient's condition.

This drug is effective against fungi. The principle of its action is simple, penetrating deep into the disease cell, it completely destroys it from the inside.

As a result, the development of the disease stops, as, in principle, the further growth and reproduction of pathogenic pathogens, and this significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. It is necessary to apply means carefully, avoiding overdose therefore it is necessary to apply it only in limited quantity.

It is produced in tubes of 3, 10 and 15 g with a concentration of the active substance - 3%. Many doctors still use this tool in the dental practice, and patients notice significant improvements after one course of use of the drug.

This preparation regenerates damaged tissues and heals wounds well with aphthous stomatitis. Use ointment is best before meals and only in complex treatment. You need to apply 2-3 times a day, as well as before bedtime.

It is best to use antiseptic preparations, and in extreme cases, you can simply rinse the mouth, diluting two drops of iodine in a glass of water. You can learn more about ointments for the treatment and restoration of gums from the video in this article.

Cost of drugs

To know how much to go to the pharmacy and if the treatment is not going to hit the budget, let's look at the approximate cost of each drug.

Attention: the cost of the drug may vary depending on the geographical removal and type of pharmacy network.

How to speed recovery

In order for the drug to work better, you must follow certain recommendations.

The instruction in this case is simple:

1. It is best to apply ointment for eating gums. Pre-rinse your mouth with clean water or an antiseptic.
2. Be sure to monitor your diet. Food should be enriched with nutrients and contain the necessary vitamins and minerals.
3. Observe daily oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day.
4. If the course of the disease worsens or you notice the ineffectiveness of the action of the ointment and the therapy applied, be sure to consult a specialist, the doctor will examine you and prescribe another treatment if necessary.

Such events will help speed recovery and prevent the development of complications.

More effective look at the problem: what gels can be used

The benefits of using gels have been described above; one can only add that such drugs rarely cause side effects  and are the most popular means in the fight against dental ailments.

Depending on the purpose and purpose of the application, the following groups of gels for gums are distinguished:

1. When teething. When a baby is restless, he has a drop of water from his mouth, drooling, body temperature rises, and he cries because of pain, the first thing parents think about is how to smear the gums on a child when teeth are cut. In this case, you can choose an anesthetic agent (anesthetic agent), a homeopathic gel or on the basis of antiseptics and anti-inflammatory components. Currently, the most popular drugs are:

• Kamistad;
• Calgel;
• Baby doctor
• Dentinox;
• Pansoral first teeth.

Knowing how to smear the gums when teeth are cut, you can greatly alleviate the condition of your child.

1. With inflammation and diseases. In this case, such anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, firming, regenerating and anesthetic gum ointments are applicable:

• Metrogil Dent;
• Holisal;
• Solcoseryl Dental;
• Asept;
• Elugel;
• Cryogel, etc.

If you do not know how to smear the gums after tooth extraction, in this case it is best to use anti-inflammatory and anesthetic gels with a regenerating effect, but it is better to consult with a dentist about this.

Gums, namely, they act as the main goal of pathogenic microbes, do not get sick right away - the process, as a rule, stretches in time for long weeks or even months. Possessing less severe symptoms, the cunning disease skillfully uses the fact that it is not paid due attention, and it progresses with increasing speed. When is bleeding and hypersensitivity  gingival tissue seriously complicates life, you have to go to the dentist and spend a lot of time and money on eliminating the consequences of your own “sluggishness”. Meanwhile, a “Holisal” gel could have a qualitative effect on the “scenario” - reviews indicate that its regular use significantly reduces the risk of developing gingivitis - or any other medical product that is focused on maintaining hygiene oral cavity: if it was applied “at the right moment”, the pathogens would certainly abandon their intentions regarding the “colonization” of the mucous membranes.

The main causes of gum disease

The fight against any disease begins with the identification of the primary sources of infection and the localization of the negative manifestations of the vital activity of bacteria. In particular, parapharmaceutical drugs, of course, help from inflammation and degradation of the cell structure, but an experienced specialist still needs to control the dynamics of recovery if:

• unable to pick up the "right" toothpaste;
• there are systematic violations in the organization of a balanced diet (deficiency of microelements and vitamins in the body - one of the conditions for the dominance of bacilli over natural antibodies);
• there are suspicions of failures in the immune system;
• aware of “bad heredity” (many dental ailments are programmed at the gene level and passed from parents to children);
• a long period of time taken antibiotics or drugs designed to suppress signs of depression;
• smoking is on the list of bad habits;
• hormonal disruptions are observed;
• a stone deposit is formed - a “provocateur” of softening of the tissue at the site of contact between the tooth and the gum.

How to diagnose a disease at an early stage?

Ointment for gums (far from all drugs that have an analgesic effect help from inflammation, and this should always be remembered and not aggravated by self-treatment) is used not only for pronounced symptoms, but also for the prevention of disorders, therefore, a particular need for accurate diagnosis before the start of the wellness procedure no. However, the hypothetical threat of development allergic reactions  on the active ingredients of the pharmacological product is preserved, and consultation with the dentist is still desirable.

As an agent for the treatment of gums, preparations of this profile group are used when:

• brushing your teeth is accompanied by bleeding, but pain syndrome  in fact absent;
• there is a detachment of tissue at the point of contact with enamel (in fact, there is no tear, but it seems that a gradual deepening of the furrow does occur);
• prolonged edema occurs, and, as a result, the teeth become mobile within their canals (we are talking about loosening the non-mechanical nature of origin);
• periodontal pockets inflamed;
• purulent ulcers form in the reddened areas.

Any of the above symptoms can be considered as a signal for immediate action.

Clinical forms of gingivitis

Gingivitis - gingivitis - according to various estimates, suffers from 70% to 90%. It is common to distinguish five basic forms of the disease, although in fact the number of known clinical pictures is much more - just under the influence of "adjacent" infections, the symptoms of the disease tend to transform (since the changes are caused by " secondary factors, they are often classified as consequences of the work of "non-core" pathogens).

Each type of gingivitis - catarrhal, hypertrophic, ulcerative, descamative and atrophic - has a specific resistance to certain components of drugs. But there are also so-called universal antiseptics, the reaction mechanism of which is not tied to a specific subspecies of the pathogen. One of these drugs is dental gel Metrogil Dent (the price ranges from 150-250 rubles). Its use is justified in case of mild gingivitis, when only the interdental nipples are affected, and in case of severe (that is, inflammation of the entire gum).

Localization threat on early stage  allows you to more effectively resist the "revolted" microbes. But it’s still impossible to rule out the possibility of total spread of infection: generalized gingivitis is fraught with swelling of the upper teeth and is very problematic from the point of view of eliminating the consequences.

Ointments for the treatment of gums and anti-inflammatory gels. Are there any differences?

To resort to the use of gels, which relieve irritation and quench the foci of concentration of pathogens in the oral cavity, it is not always advisable - sometimes you can get by changing the toothpaste and brush. But when it comes to targeted prophylaxis or active opposition to microbes, ointment for healing gums is “the very thing”: its active ingredients inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins and thus prevent their “migration” from tooth to tooth.

Many of this group are sold in pharmacies without a prescription, and ordinary consumers often have questions about their optimal form of release. Simply put, they are interested in the final effect: will the result of applying the ointment be as pronounced as with regular gel application, or not?

An unequivocal answer, of course, does not exist, for each drug has an original basis, which determines the rate of adsorption and the quality of fixation on the gums. Anyway, most specialists are inclined to consider gels as the “product of tomorrow”: they, in their opinion, penetrate the mucous membrane better and do not split up with saliva so quickly.

Force "Holisala"

As an ointment for gums (medicine was recommended for inflammation not only in Russia, but also in a number of European countries) “Cholisal” recommended itself from the best side.

In terms of the onset of the therapeutic effect, it exceeds many tablets: salicylate and tsetalkoniya chloride contribute to the fact that the pain recedes within some two or three minutes after application. Along the way, the ingredients relieve puffiness and reduce bleeding. The low cost of the drug (about 300 rubles) makes it one of the best solutions available on the pharmaceutical market.

Why is Metrogil Dent so popular?

The basic basis is chlorhexidine and metronidazole: the first is a prominent representative of the antiseptic group, the second is a “hereditary” antibiotic. The effect of the reagents is especially noticeable in the upper layers of the mucous membrane of the gums, that is, the gel is very effective in the early stages of infectious progress.

But, as the doctors note, the fractional presence of the antibiotic is clearly underestimated (when compared with analogues), therefore Metrogil Dent, which costs about 170 rubles, often does not justify hopes during treatment running forms  ailment. Nevertheless, the level of demand of the drug among ordinary consumers (the reagent is dispensed without a prescription) indicates the opposite - many patients make a bet on the “magic” properties of the gel, even during relapses.

Kamistad: a mechanism of contact at the point of inflammation

The above mentioned ointment for gums - “Denta” - is very close in terms of the level of anti-inflammatory effect to “Kamistad” - a gel containing lidocaine hydrochloride and chamomile extract. With the manifestations of gingivitis, both of these drugs fight as much as they can and, I must say, very successfully. However, the peripheral action of “Kamistad” (the estimated cost of one tube is 160-200 rubles) is uncharacteristically - the treated areas of the gums numb for 3-5 minutes. Given the length of the therapeutic course - 7-10 days - such an “anomaly” can be safely attributed to the shortcomings of the drug.

Gel and balm "Asepta"

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent under the trade name "Asepta" is presented on the market in the form of a gel and balsam. Being a pharmaceutical pharmaceutical based on propolis, chlorhexine and metronidazole, it has antimicrobial properties. But the result declared by the manufacturer during the practical use of the drug is often not confirmed. Characteristically, the gum balm in this particular case is not intended for rinsing the oral cavity - it, like the gel, is applied in a thin layer on the affected areas, after which it expects its time, without taking any additional action.

Gum Ointment for inflammation: a guide to use

For more rapid recovery of degraded / inflamed areas of gingival tissue, you should follow the basic rules for using gels and ointments:

• apply drugs only after brushing your teeth;
• if the process of eating is associated with pain sensations  - apply products containing lidocaine (or its analogue) half an hour before the meal;
• mandatory resort to sleep protection;
• do not attempt to wash off the components in cases where this is not specified by the original instruction (as a rule, the reagents are absorbed during the first 30 minutes and no additional rinsing of the mouth is required).

In the absence of positive developments, it is necessary to seek qualified medical assistance.

Parallel non-drug treatment of gingivitis

Along with the use of drugs such as “Cholisal” gel (the responses about it are mostly positive, which indicates a high activity of the ingredients against pathogens), it is sometimes advisable to resort to “parallel” therapy:

• make a light massage atrophied gums (in compliance with all standards of hygiene);
• load the chewing apparatus at the earliest opportunity (emphasis on fruit);
• use dental floss and in every possible way prevent the formation of plaque.

Gum disease: the role of parapharmaceuticals

Medicines focused on the improvement of the gums, quite a lot. Some drugs are prescribed on the basis of surveys and are available strictly on prescription. But there are those who belong to the group of pharmaceutical agents - they are available for purchase in almost any pharmacy. Moreover, ointment for gums (the price of most gels varies between 100-350 rubles) is not the only popular form of production.

For example, the same “Forest Balsam” is presented in the form of a special mouthwash. Having in its composition extracts from five medicinal plants, it perfectly copes with the functions of the “tool for prevention”, that is, it does not allow the development of catarrhal gingivitis by inhibiting pathogenic microbes.

But with the fibrous growth of the gum tissue, another “parapharmaceutical” - “Malavit” is very effective. The main “weapon” here is already burning the mucous membrane, the active ingredient localizes the damage site (however, it’s better not to use Malavit with standard inflammatory processes).

Gingivitis: prevention and healing

If we are talking about the use of parapharmaceutical balsams, then rinsing for gums is certainly a useful procedure, and it can be considered as an integral part of a comprehensive prevention of illness. According to the WHO instructions, there are three types of “proactive” measures:

• primary actions imply the elimination of bad habits and the optimization of the diet;
• secondary - elimination of foci of caries and their derivatives;
• tertiary aimed at restoring the full functionality of the masticatory system (prosthetics, etc.).

When performing all these points, the healing of a patient with gingivitis is an issue.
