Does gum hyperplasia retract?

Whether gingival overgrowth retracts depends on the cause and severity, and can generally be improved by removing the irritant, treating the primary disease, maintaining good oral hygiene, and regular review. Whether gingival overgrowth retracts depends on its cause and severity. In general, the following conditions may cause gingival overgrowth to retract: 1. Remove irritants: If gingival hyperplasia is caused by local stimulation factors, such as dental calculus, plaque, bad prostheses, etc., gingival hyperplasia may gradually recede after removing stimulation factors by cleaning teeth and scraping. 2. Treatment of primary diseases: Some systemic diseases, such as leukemia, hypertension, diabetes, etc., may lead to gingival hyperplasia. After treatment of these primary diseases, gum hyperplasia may also improve. 3. Maintain good oral hygiene: keep your mouth clean, brush your teeth regularly, use floss and mouthwash, etc., to prevent gum inflammation and help maintain gum health. 4. Regular review: Even if gum hyperplasia has retreated, regular review is needed to detect problems and take appropriate measures. It should be noted that for some severe gingival overgrowth, such as drug-induced gingival overgrowth or gingival fibromatosis, gingival overgrowth may not fully retract or require more complex treatment methods such as surgical resection. In addition, for patients who are taking certain drugs that cause gum hyperplasia, adjusting the dose of the drug or changing the drug under the guidance of the doctor can also help reduce the symptoms of gum hyperplasia. In short, if gum hyperplasia is found, you should seek medical attention promptly, conduct detailed oral examination and diagnosis, and take appropriate treatment measures. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain good oral hygiene and regular reexamination. Key Message: Whether gingival overgrowth retracts depends on the cause and severity, and can generally be improved by removing the irritant, treating the underlying disease, maintaining good oral hygiene, and regular follow-up. Severe gingival overgrowth may require more complex treatment.
