Sensitive gums can significantly affect the quality of life. From pain when brushing your teeth to discomfort when eating hot, cold or sweet foods - the symptoms are not only unpleasant, but can also be signs of serious gum disease. At emmi-dent, we offer you innovative products and solutions that are specifically designed to protect and care for sensitive gums. In this article, you will learn more about the causes of sensitive gums, how you can relieve the symptoms and sustainably improve your oral health.

Sensitive gums are a common complaint closely linked to sensitive teeth and are often caused by receding gums. This receding leaves the necks of the teeth exposed and vulnerable to sensitivity. The causes of sensitive gums are varied, including excessive pressure when brushing, the use of hard toothbrushes, hormonal changes in the body and genetic factors. Sensitive teeth and gums can also be aggravated by inflamed gums, a condition often caused by poor oral hygiene or smoking.

For those who suffer from sensitive gums, it is recommended to use soft toothbrushes or toothbrushes with soft bristles to protect the gums and prevent further damage. Specialized dental products, such as those from emmi-dent, offer an effective triple action and are clinically proven to protect sensitive teeth while relieving gingivitis. These products help to avoid irritating the gums and offer proven protection for sensitive teeth by reducing plaque buildup and preventing tartar buildup.

It is important to use gentle techniques when cleaning teeth. Aggressive movements should be avoided. An ultrasonic toothbrush is ideal as it is held gently against the teeth to thoroughly clean the sensitive spaces between teeth without irritating the gums. Interdental brushes are important cleaning tools and can help soothe sensitive gums and promote healthy gums. Regular appointments with the dentist for a professional teeth cleaning are also crucial to minimise the risk of gingivitis and to detect early signs of problems.

The most common symptoms of sensitive gums include pain sensitivity, bleeding gums and general gum irritation. To alleviate these symptoms, we recommend using emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrushes , which are particularly gentle on the gums with their advanced 100% ultrasonic technology and 96 million multi-frequency vibrations per minute. In addition, emmi-dent toothpaste offers an effective triple action that is clinically tested and protects sensitive teeth and gums. Toothpaste helps to relieve pain, protects against plaque buildup and promotes healthy gums. Regular use can help prevent gingivitis and improve general oral hygiene.

Thorough and gentle oral hygiene is crucial to prevent gum problems and avoid aggravating existing problems. It is important to use techniques that do not irritate the gums, such as avoiding aggressive zig-zag movements and applying little pressure when brushing. Interdental brushes and dental floss are important tools for cleaning between teeth, where plaque and bacteria can easily accumulate. A professional dental cleaning at the dentist can also help to thoroughly remove tartar and reduce the risk of gum disease. Regular appointments with the dentist are important to identify early signs of gum problems and treat them accordingly.

Gingivitis and periodontitis are both inflammatory diseases of the gums, but they differ in their causes, symptoms and severity.

Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease caused by plaque buildup along the gum line. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums when brushing or flossing. Good oral hygiene can usually reverse and prevent gingivitis.

Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, a serious form of gum disease. Periodontitis not only causes inflammation of the gums, but also causes destruction of the periodontal ligament, which can lead to tooth loss. Symptoms include deep gum pockets, pus formation, and loose teeth. Professional dental treatment is necessary to stop the progression of the disease.

The causes of both diseases are poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetic predisposition, diabetes, hormonal changes and certain medications. Regular visits to the dentist and consistent oral care are crucial to minimising the risk.

Treatment for gingivitis includes thorough tooth cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Periodontitis may require more in-depth cleaning, such as root planing and sometimes surgical intervention. Prevention includes regular tooth cleaning, brushing twice a day, flossing and a healthy diet.

Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term damage and maintain oral health.

In addition to regular oral hygiene, natural home remedies such as salt water rinses are also effective in soothing sensitive gums. These can reduce inflammation and pain in sensitive gums. Chamomile tea, known for its soothing properties, serves as a gentle mouthwash that reduces the symptoms of gingivitis. An ultrasonic toothbrush or gently massaging the gums with a soft toothbrush can promote blood circulation and aid healing, while a vitamin-rich diet strengthens oral health and improves gum resilience.

With the right products and care techniques, you can effectively treat sensitive gums and sustainably improve the health of your teeth and gums. emmi-dent offers advanced solutions that are specifically designed to protect sensitive gums and ensure optimal oral hygiene. Our ultrasonic toothbrushes use the latest technology to generate 96 million multi-frequency vibrations per minute, which enable gentle and thorough cleaning.
