We took him to Dentist And the dentis examained his teeth and said that he has gingivitis. What is this gingivitis. Is there any treatment for gingivitis? [/INST] Hello uranium, Gingivitis in diabetic patients are common. This is the condition in which gums are inflamed due to accumulation of food debris and plaque. I Would suggest you to get a routine dental check-up as well as scaling done by your dentist. To prevent gum infections further, use soft-bristled toothbrush and clean your teeth involving all aspects of teeth. Use chlorhexidine mouth rinse to gargle. Rinse your mouth after every meal. Use warm saline to gargle. Antibiotics has to be taken to make your gums intact as per dentists prescription. Take care. </s>
