Gum pain is why


Dedicated to your healing journey.
The causes of gum pain include gingivitis, periodontitis, food impaction, wisdom tooth pericoronitis, periapical periodontitis, gum damage, systemic diseases, etc. 1. gingivitis This is one of the most common causes. Dental plaque and dental calculus accumulate near the gum edge, stimulating the gums to cause inflammation, leading to redness, pain, and even bleeding of the gums. Usually do not pay attention to oral hygiene, do not brush your teeth correctly, use dental floss, etc., easy to cause gingivitis. 2. Periodontitis periodontal tissue is destroyed, in addition to gum pain, may also be accompanied by tooth loosening, displacement and other conditions. Long-term gingivitis has not been effectively treated, may develop into periodontitis. 3. Food impaction After eating, if food residue is embedded in the teeth, it can compress the gums and cause pain if it is not cleaned for a long time. 4. Wisdom teeth pericoronitis When wisdom teeth are not completely erupted or impacted, blind pockets are formed between the gingival flap and the crown, which is easy to accumulate food residue and bacteria, leading to inflammation attacks, gum pain, swelling, etc. 5. Periapical inflammation occurs around the tooth apex tissue, which can cause bite pain. Pain sometimes radiates to the gums, causing gum pain. 6. Gingival damage such as brushing too hard, accidentally damaging the gums when eating, etc., may cause gum pain. Some systemic diseases, such as diabetes, may affect oral health and make gums more prone to pain and other problems.
