Gingival swelling is a condition caused by inflammation or fluid buildup of the tissues between the tooth and gums, called "gingivitis" in medical terms. This poses a serious threat to oral health. Almost every person may experience gingival swelling at least once in their life.
The most common reason is insufficient attention to oral hygiene. Food remaining between teeth creates a favorable environment for bacteria and causes inflammation in the gums. Hormonal changes (adolescence, pregnancy, menstruation), decreased immunity, and vitamin C deficiency also weaken gingival tissue.
Moreover, smoking, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain medications (blood pressure lowerers, antidepressants, immunosuppressants) can also cause gum swelling. Incorrectly installed prostheses, rigid tooth brushing, or improper cleaning techniques can also damage the gums.
Strict adherence to dental and oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle are important for maintaining milk health.
