White bumps on the gums

White protrusions on the gums may be caused by a variety of conditions, such as alveolar bone hyperplasia, periapical lesions, abnormal keratosis, epithelial surplus, etc. 1, alveolar bone hyperplasia This is one of the more common reasons. In the long-term chewing pressure and other factors, alveolar bone may appear local hyperplasia, manifested as white protrusions on the gums, usually hard texture, no obvious pain and other discomfort. This situation generally does not require special treatment, but if the proliferation seriously affects oral function or aesthetics, further evaluation and treatment may be required. 2, periapical lesions When there is inflammation in the root tip of the tooth, it may form a fistula or pustule in the corresponding position of the gums, presenting white protrusions. At this time, it is often accompanied by tooth pain, bite discomfort and other symptoms. Root canal therapy is needed to eliminate inflammation and restore tooth health. 3. Hyperkeratosis or poor keratosis of the gums may also appear white protrusions, which may be related to local stimulation, genetics and other factors. If there are no other abnormal manifestations, observe first, but if there are changes or discomfort, seek medical examination in time. 4. EpitheliumThe epithelial tissue remaining during tooth development may appear as a small white bulge on the gums. Generally, there is no obvious harm, but it needs to be distinguished from other lesions. The causes of white bumps on the gums are various. After discovery, you should seek medical attention in time, conduct detailed oral examination and necessary auxiliary examinations, such as X-rays, etc., to clarify the diagnosis, and take corresponding treatment measures according to the specific situation. Do not blindly handle it yourself, so as not to delay the disease or cause adverse consequences.
