During the epidemic, many people are afraid to come to the clinic for regular maintenance and checkups. The bacteria and calculus accumulated in the mouth for more than six months, coupled with the pressure from the epidemic, these bacteria take advantage of our low immune system to proliferate and gather on the periodontal tissues, resulting in inflammation and swelling of the gums.
Swollen gums are a fairly common oral problem with hundreds of causes in our lives, and they generally go away after a short time. However, this seemingly insignificant problem is often very disturbing when it is serious and may be related to disease or cancer. If it persists without improvement, there is a risk of cellulitis or deterioration of the condition.
In addition, swollen gums may also be related to disease. For example, if a diabetic patient's condition is not well controlled, swollen gums and periodontal inflammation may also occur, and a vicious cycle may be formed in which the condition is not properly controlled, resulting in swollen gums, and the swollen gums make diabetes even worse.
In addition to the above, hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menstruation, and the use of anti-epileptic drugs or steroids may also cause gum swelling, but it is usually chronic and less severe.
When gum swelling is under observation, people can use anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications. You can also take a moderate amount of vitamin B, vitamin C, folic acid, etc. These nutrients can help improve gum problems. During this period, it is natural to avoid alcohol, spicy food and other stimulating diets. Once again, if it takes more than 3 days, or if the situation worsens, or even if it bleeds or becomes pus, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and should not delay.
