Source of Gingival Problems and Prevention
Gingivitis is one of the dental problems caused by plaques that also form the gingiva line and irritate the gingiva. Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gingival disease, can be treated before it turns into periodontal disease.
Gingivitis is usually resolved by longer and more frequent brushing and attention to oral health. Therefore, the person should be conscious of oral hygiene. When you experience symptoms such as bleeding gingiva, swelling of the gingiva and bad breath during tooth brushing, you should definitely contact your doctor.
Is The Source Of Gingivitis Genetic Or Oral Hygiene?
Causes of gingivitis vary from person to person. The increased risk of dental diseases due to age is also valid for gingivitis. Statistics show that 70 percent of people over the age of 65 suffer from either mild gingival disease. At the same time, gingivitis is more common in people who smoke, have family history of tooth inflammation problems and those who use drugs. Causes of gingivitis are generally:
- Dental Plaques (Tartar): The most common cause of gingivitis is dental plaques. When dental hygiene is not taken into consideration, plaques form on the teeth and the gingiva weakens and then encounter diseases. Consuming sugary foods or having an crowded tooth also increases dental plaque.
- Malnourishment: Food deficiencies such as vitamin C deficiency can cause gingivitis by reducing the rate of regeneration of gingiva cells. At the same time, malnutrition can prevent the gingiva from being strong enough.
- Hormonal Changes: Processes that cause hormonal changes such as menopause, pregnancy and puberty are also among the causes of gingivitis. The rise and fall in hormones can make the gingiva vulnerable to bacteria.
- Diseases: Diseases such as cancer that weaken the immune system can be among the causes of gingivitis. Treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy used with these diseases can also have a negative effect on the gingiva.
Gingivitis is also seen in people who constantly breathe through the mouth. Gingivitis is also common in people who use crisis and high blood pressure medications, have organ transplants and use drugs that reduce saliva.
What Happens When Gingivitis Is Not Treated?
Greater consequences can occur when red and swollen gingiva, bleeding after brushing, white spots or plaques on the gingiva are ignored. Although gingivitis is a non-destructive type of periodontal disease, it must be treated.
When gingivitis is not treated, it causes problems such as bad breath, inflammation between teeth and gingiva, bad taste in the mouth, difficulty in eating, change in the closing of the mouth or tooth alignment, tooth loss, gingiva abscesses. You must contact your doctor to determine the source of gingivitis and the treatment method.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!
I was verry happy for this company the staff was sweet and proffesinelt. I pay 1.750€ for 12 crowns take € hvis you for the payment Regards Detlef Otto Denmark
I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended

Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
