Chronic gum inflammation

Long-term gum inflammation is an oral health problem that needs to be highly valued. The reasons include lack of hygiene, persistent local irritants, poor general health, etc. 1. Do not pay attention to hygiene. If you do not effectively clean your mouth daily, food debris, soft dirt, etc. will accumulate near the gum edge, providing a good environment for bacteria to grow. These bacteria and their toxins can stimulate gum tissue and cause inflammation. For a long time, gum inflammation will persist or even worsen. 2. Local irritants such as plaque, dental calculus, bad restorations, food impaction, etc. persist. If these irritants are not removed in time, gums will continue to be stimulated, resulting in inflammation difficult to subside. Dental calculus in particular will continue to stimulate gums, so that it is in a long-term congestion, swelling state. 3. Poor general health Some systemic diseases, such as diabetes, will affect the body's resistance and repair ability, making gums more easily inflamed and difficult to recover. In addition, endocrine disorders, malnutrition, etc. may also affect gum health, leading to long-term gum inflammation difficult to improve. Chronic gum inflammation, if left unchecked, may develop into periodontitis, leading to alveolar bone resorption, tooth loosening and even loss. At the same time, inflammation may spread to other parts of the body, increasing the risk of other diseases. If necessary, seek the help of a professional dentist for a comprehensive examination and treatment to maintain oral health and general health.
