This is a fairly common disease, the main cause of which is poor oral hygiene. The main symptoms of gingivitis are bleeding, swelling, and redness of the gums. Causes The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. The bacteria found in dental plaque provoke the development of inflammation. If plaque is not removed for a long time from the surface of the teeth, it transforms into tartar, which can irritate the gum tissue. Symptoms Healthy gums are pale pink in color. Redness of the gums, the appearance of puffiness indicate the presence of inflammation - gingivitis. Because gingivitis is usually not painful, patients may not even be aware of it. The main symptoms of gingivitis are: - swelling and redness of the gums - bleeding gums when cleaning and using floss - bad breath Risk factors - adolescent puberty - smoking - diabetes - old age - dry mouth syndrome - decreased immunity - taking certain medications - some viral and fungal infections - pregnancy, menstrual irregularities - using oral contraceptives - poor nutrition - alcohol abuse - poor quality dental restorations - deformation of the dentition. Prognosis Untreated gingivitis can lead to more serious conditions such as periodontitis and ultimately tooth loss. Лечение Первый и один из самых важных этапов - профессиональная чистка и нормализация ежедневной гигиены полости рта. Врач удалит все имеющиеся зубные отложения (налет, камень и т. д.), проведет подбор средств гигиены, а также даст необходимые рекомендации. Если причиной скопления зубного налета является скученность зубов, в таких случаях пациенту показана ортодонтическая коррекция.
