Inflamed gums – what you should know about them

Taking care of the personal hygiene is a very important everyday task. However, at times due to many reasons, this personal hygiene tends to be left aside for some other important work. Once or twice, it might not be a problem but with regular ignorance towards the personal care will surely lead to a problem. Particularly, if we talk about the taking care of teeth, it is a mandatory task to brush them at least twice every day to keep them healthy.

Oral health of a person to many is not that important while considering the personal hygiene, but speaking of long term it really would matter. The oral health of a person does not just keep him/her protected but it also helps to ensure self-confidence while at public places. Improper oral care will eventually lead to formation of plaques, cavities and thus eventually it will start harming the gums by inflaming them. Inflamed gums are very painful and they will not only cause pain but also result in bad breath and even bleeding from the affected teeth. The formation of inflamed gums does not occur due to a single diseases but it may get inflamed due to many other reasons.

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease, which occurs in stages, and the initial stage of this is Gingivitis. Gingivitis, being the primary stage of periodontitis, still gives a chance of preventing periodontitis by proper treatments but failing to treat this disease properly at the correct time will surely lead to periodontitis along with some other complications. The main reason for the formation of periodontitis is due to the breakdown of the immune system, which might happen due to diabetes, HIV and even due to the fever called dengue.

Apart for the periodontitis disease, the other ways for your gums to inflame is the improper placement of dentures. Due to this, the tooth gum will start to get soft and the bones, which help in the formation of the tooth, will start to get displaced.  On the other hand, gum inflammation can also occur due to reasons like allergy towards a particular toothpaste or mouthwash that does not suit the user. Unfortunate but true in the world there are many child and even adults who suffers from malnutrition. Without the proper intake of nutrients, these unfortunate people cannot grow the needed immune system within them and thus they suffer many diseases and inflamed gums happen to be the first to strike them. Apart from all these, inflamed gums can also occur during pregnancy.

From the above discussion, we can see that inflamed gums are a serious oral health degrader and any of us might be a victim of it anytime. Thus, in order to stay safe there are simple tasks which need to be executed on a regular basis. Starting with proper oral care, intake of vegetables, less intake of sugary substances, maintain a good intake of nutrients and most importantly to stay away from diseases that damage body’s immune system.
