Inflamed Gums Treatment in Stockholm – Gingivitis Care at Gloss & Floss
Are your gums red, swollen, or bleeding when you brush? Do you notice persistent bad breath (halitosis)? These are early signs of gingivitis—one of the most common forms of gum disease. At Gloss & Floss Dental Care in Stockholm, our experienced, English-speaking team specializes in gentle, effective treatment for inflamed gums so you can protect your smile and overall health.
What Is Gingivitis?
Gingivitis (inflamed gums) is the earliest stage of gum disease. It often develops silently, without pain, but symptoms such as redness, swelling, bleeding, tenderness, or persistent bad breath—especially during brushing or flossing—should never be ignored. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a serious condition that can damage the bone supporting your teeth and even lead to tooth loss.
What Causes Inflamed Gums?
- Plaque buildup from inadequate oral hygiene
- Bacteria that irritate and inflame the gums
- Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, puberty, menopause)
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Certain medications or medical conditions
Even if you don’t feel pain, early intervention is key to preventing complications. Bad breath (halitosis) is also a common early warning sign.

Why Treat Inflamed Gums Early?
Ignoring gum inflammation can allow bacteria to spread below the gum line, weakening the jawbone and threatening the stability of your teeth. Prompt treatment helps prevent periodontitis, tooth loss, and even links to other health issues like heart disease and diabetes. Hormonal changes—such as during pregnancy—can also increase your risk, so regular check-ups are important even if symptoms subside.
Long-Term Prevention: The Importance of Routine Dental Visits
Maintaining healthy gums is an ongoing process. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to prevent gingivitis from returning. Our team will help you establish a personalized oral hygiene routine and recommend how often you should visit for preventive care, protecting your gums, teeth, and fresh breath for the long term.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Assessment: We examine your gums, measure pocket depth, and may take digital images.
- Cleaning: Gentle scaling and root planing remove plaque and tartar.
- Advice: Personalized guidance for home care and prevention.
- Follow-up: We monitor your healing and recommend regular maintenance visits.
