What to do about gingival papillitis

When gingivitis papillitis occurs, the main cause is due to the presence of food embedded inside the gaps between the teeth or the presence of calculus on the inside of the gingival papillae, below the gaps between the teeth. The main treatment for gingivitis is to treat the cause of the disease. If there are food inclusions, they can be removed with floss or toothpicks. If there is no way to clean it out personally, you can go to the hospital to have it cleaned by a professional. In the case of calculus below the gingival papilla, supragingival scaling and subgingival scraping are usually required to clean the calculus. After the calculus is cleaned, iodine glycerin is placed in the gum pocket for anti-inflammatory purposes, and the gingival papillitis usually disappears in about 1-2 weeks.
