Gum Health | Clinic Lina

Gum health is the foundation of oral and dental health, yet it is often overlooked. Signs such as bleeding during brushing, redness and swelling can be early indicators of gum disease. At Clinic Lina gum disease is brought under control with early diagnosis and personalised treatment.

Why does the disease occur?

The main cause of gum disease is bacterial plaque that accumulates on the teeth. Plaque that is not cleaned regularly hardens into tartar and causes inflammation in the gums. Smoking, genetic predisposition and some systemic diseases increase the risk.

How is treatment carried out?

The first step is professional tartar cleaning. Once plaque and tartar are removed, the gums return to health. In advanced cases, deep-cleaning procedures such as root surface smoothing are applied. The goal is to stop progression and protect healthy tissue.

Why gum health matters

Healthy gums hold and protect the teeth. When the disease progresses, the supporting bone is damaged and this can lead to Tooth Extraction. Gum disease is also known to be linked to some systemic conditions.

Tips for prevention

A few habits added to your daily routine are enough to protect gum health.

Brush at least twice a day
Use dental floss
Eat a balanced diet and avoid smoking
Visit your dentist regularly
