What are the main symptoms of gingivitis? How to prevent gingivitis?

Gingivitis is a common dental disease, the main symptoms are bleeding, swelling and pain of gums, which brings people a lot of pain. Gingivitis needs timely treatment. If not treated in time, it will not only lead to facial swelling, but also lead to more serious inflammation and endanger people's dental health. What are the main symptoms of gingivitis?

1, gum bleeding easily.

Gingival bleeding is the most intuitive feeling of gingivitis patients. Usually, patients find that gingivitis is caused by bleeding gums. This usually happens when brushing teeth or biting hard objects, and occasionally there will be spontaneous bleeding.

The gums are red and swollen.

Normal gums are pink. In patients with gingivitis, connective tissue is inflamed, tissue and blood vessels are congested and proliferated, and the gums will turn dark red or dark red. Normal gingiva is close to the tooth surface. Due to tissue edema, the gingival margin thickens, resulting in a distance from the tooth surface and redness.

2. Soft gums

Gingivitis patients' gums will become loose, fragile and inelastic. This is due to the inflammation of connective tissue in gums and the disappearance of collagen fibers.

3. The gums are itchy locally

Inflammation of gums between adjacent teeth will cause food residues and bacteria to be trapped in the inflamed area, which will affect oral hygiene and lead to local itching of gums.

4, bad breath

Because gingivitis can cause gingival swelling, bleeding and purulent secretion, and the oral hygiene environment is complex, dental plaque and tartar accumulated on teeth will rot and ferment under the action of bacteria and microorganisms, resulting in bad breath.

5. Daily health care

2. After getting sick, rinse your mouth with normal saline or medical mouthwash. When gargling, close your mouth, use your cheeks, lips and tongue, fully move the mouthwash, repeatedly impact the food residue between your teeth and everywhere, and then spit it out.

3. Develop good chewing habits and chew slowly, which can not only promote the secretion of digestive juice, but also promote the health of circulation and periodontal tissue. Get rid of the bad habit of unilateral chewing.

4, knocking teeth in the morning and evening, knocking teeth up and down ten times, has the effect of changing circulation and promoting gingival tissue metabolism.

5, brush your teeth correctly, regardless of the vertical brush before and after, and insist on brushing dozens of times in each part, once in the morning and evening, to completely remove plaque and residue in the gap.

6, gum massage, the index finger is placed on the gums, doing a mobile massage action of rotating in a small circle, and then gargling, so that the gum area to which each tooth belongs is massaged, repeated several times.
