Gingival therapy is the treatment to patients with gingivitis, ie, inflammation and infection of the gums by scaling and plates. Such therapy requires the intervention of the dentist and good personal hygiene. The first goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation in improving gingival tissues. It starts with a professional teeth cleaning, which is usually recommended done once or twice a year, as appropriate. Then the patient must follow a deep hygiene applying proper brushing and flossing. Moreover, it is generally recommended mouthwash with antibacterial liquid. The dentist may also recommend repair or replace misaligned teeth braces (if the patient wear braces), for example.
