Gum Inflammation

If you have been told you have periodontal (gum) disease, 00004000 you’re not alone. An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of the disease.

Gum disease is a threat to your oral health. Research points to the possible health effects of periodontal diseases that go well beyond your mouth, and may be linked to other systemic conditions. Whether gum disease is stopped, slowed down, or gets worse depends a great deal on how well you care for your teeth and gums daily, as well as with the assistance and treatment by dental professionals.

To elaborate, it should be pointed out that good enzymes that are released because of immunity don’t just fight off bacteria but they also start to break down the bone and connective tissue holding the bone in place. This gradual deterioration of the teeth and tissues is therefore caused by toxins or poisons released by bacteria as well as by your immune response to those bacteria. Over time the extent of the deterioration quite naturally increases and these pockets begin to increase with the extent of tissue and bone loss also increasing.

Eventually the teeth become lose and fall out. Gingivitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and in most cases treating gingivitis or periodontitis promptly would suffice to avert such outcomes. Treating gingivitis naturally at home can help to some extent but the relief is for the most part symptomatic. During pregnancy when treatment options are limited however treating gingivitis with home remedies for gingivitis may be necessary and medical treatment from your dentist may be deferred till later. In all other circumstances however treatment should begin at the earliest.

Factors Causes and Symptoms

Gingivitis (gum inflammation) can occur at any age. Usually, a person Hygiene factors are critical. There are several factors that can cause gingivitis. Among other things, smoking, hormonal changes in women, diabetes, stress, cancer, AIDS, genetic factors, malnutrition, and drugs. Some medications such as antidepressants and some heart medications can cause inflammation of the gums because of the reduced flow of saliva, which actually has a protective effect on teeth and gums. In addition to severe factors such as stress, hormonal changes, diabetes, and genetics, inflammation of the gums can happen so light as food and hot drinks. But the factors that are more common is someone Hygiene factors and errors in the brush.

The cause of gingivitis is most common in the stacking rocks on the tooth from food scraps that are not cleaned. Coral tooth comes from food scraps that are not cleaned, so there is an accumulation and become rock. If the plaque remains attached to the teeth for more than 72 hours, it will harden and form tartar. Gingivitis is also found in many people who use fake teeth and never noticed the cleanliness fact. Moreover, if the false teeth were made of coarse material, so there is likely to injure the gums, causing inflammation.

Inflammation of the gums can also cause infection through the blood vessels and damage to human organs like heart, lungs, brain, and eyes. If the infection went down to the heart or the so-called percarlitis or inflammation of the lining of the heart. If the infection went up into the lungs can cause TB disease. If you go down to the eye vision problems can occur. And if the infection went up to the brain that can cause meningitis.

There are two kinds of symptoms of inflammation of the gums, symptoms of primary and secondary symptoms. The primary symptoms are marked by the swelling of the gums. As a result the head felt dizzy and feverish. While secondary symptoms characterized by pain when touched or exposed to the gum toothbrush. As a result, the head feels dizzy or commonly referred to as migrants. In the primary symptoms, the gums will appear red when the gums have a natural color pink.

In addition, swelling of the gums and the gums become more flexible than normal. As a result, the gums are no longer attached to the teeth so the dirt easier entry. If people brush their teeth or eating, often bleeding gums and gums become more sensitive. In addition patients will also complain about the smell of mouth, especially in the inflamed gums. Bleeding gums often make sufferers reluctant to brush his teeth by causing illness, it causes plaque and food scraps accumulating thus worsening the condition of gingivitis. In cases of severe gingivitis, then at the time, especially during the morning wake up pillow is packed with blood, and especially if the patient breathing during sleep through the mouth.

Treatment

Diagnosis is established based on symptoms and physical examination results. If found conditions inflamed gums red, swollen and bleed easily then it could be said if he was hit gingivitis. If the patient’s has symptoms which has been mentioned above, he certainly has affected gingivitis.

Gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums if not treated will become severe and spread to the teeth resulting in tooth loss. The situation is called periodontists, which is a further stage of gingivitis, with inflammation of the gums that is more severe. Medical conditions that cause or worsen gingivitis should be addressed.

Although this disease can be healed within 2 to 3 days but is highly recommended to patients to get to the dentist to perform scaling or tartar cleaning the interval between 3-6 months. Scaling addition, patients can also do scerentase, namely cleaning germs that can cause gingivitis contained in the root of the tooth.

    How Do You Cure Gum Inflammation When I Have Braces?
    I have braces, and I’ve had them for about 4-6 months, and about last week, my gums started to hurt when I brush my teeth. This is a first. It hurts mostly on my bottom row, but the thing is, I don’t have braces on my bottom row. Only my top row, but they both hurt.

      Have you been flossing? If not you need to start daily. Also make sure you are using the proper technique.

    what is a home cure for gum inflammation?
    my wisdom teeth are cutting and i can not get them pulled till this semester is over but my gums are swollen up and are getting infected what can i do?

    • ANSWER:
      I would suggest you to have an appointment asap. Wisdom teeth cutting gum can give you serious problems, mainly because sometimes they just “stop” to pull out and your gum grows again, but can keep some bacterias inside that will give you more infections. Even if you try a home cure, that will be merely palliative, until you get the wisdom teeth fixed.

      My dentist recommended hydrogen peroxide 10 volume (3%) to prevent gingivitis and dental plaque, at least 1 time per week. After brush your teeth, spill some peroxide at your brush rub your teeth and gum gently. Don’t let that too long at your mouth then wash very well with water, removing completely. If you gum is too swollen and sore, you can just wash using 1 teaspoon of peroxide with 1/2 glass of water.

  10. QUESTION:
    Possible cause and cure of upper middle gum inflammation?
    Hi
    For the past 5 days or so, I’ve noticed that the middle part of gum… the area between the two upper central incisor teeth…is badly inflamed both at the front and back. Since it’s not exactly any area you can leave alone, it’s getting worse and more painful. Before the inflammation was only at the back side but a very visible veiny-purple colored swell developed at the front over the past 24 hours. It hurts and I have trouble doing anything inside my mouth or in the areas around my lips. My insurance does not cover eye or dental care so I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      if it’s a recent problem and you don’t have any other gum disease, it’s very likely that you have a piece of food stuck in there (popcorn kernel shells are a major cause).

      That said, I suspect you haven’t been to a dentist in a while. You should go because 1) they’re really the only ones that can get the food/object out of there properly and 2) they’re the only ones that can rule out a more serious problem like a periodontal infection, decayed root, cyst etc. etc.

  11. QUESTION:

    gum inflammation it hurts allot?
    every 3 month i go for a teeth cleaning and every time my the upper back part of my gum hurts like allot for weeks.can some one explain why this happens ? and my teeth are separating all the money I spend on my teeth I should save my money for false teeth instead of cleaning every three monhs what should i do?? pleas help save my teeth<<>

    • ANSWER:
      You probably have gum disease. Sometimes cleaning every 3 months is not good enough. You need to care for your teeth all the time. You probably haven’t been brushing your teeth thoroughly (not necessarily roughly and with a lot of pressure and for a REALLY long time–just enough to make sure its clean). Contact your dentist/dental hygienist (i know they may have been ripping you off but your health comes first–you can also probably sue them for cleaning your teeth improperly). The infection you have seems very severe, don’t waste any time. See your doctor immediately. Your dentist should prescribe any gum ointment or drug prescription. Try not to irritate the infection, it may worsen. Peroxide can soothe the pain, Orajel can help a lot too.

      Hope I helped :)

    Gum inflammation after 2nd stage of root canal treatment – help!?
    My dentist started root canal treatment on the 28th of March; told me to visit on the 28th of April where the tooth was redressed and x-rayed and refilled, and I’m seeing him again on the 15th of May.

    Around Friday, I’ve developed this weird swelling on the gum of the affected tooth. It swells up for a couple of hours, then goes down, then swells up later in the day, then down… and round and round in a cycle. I think it usually takes place around the time of meals. It definitely swells up when I press against it lightly with my tongue. But it doesn’t hurt at all.

    Any ideas as to what it could be and if I need to see my dentist urgently?
    It’s hurting today :/

  18. QUESTION:
    Extreme gum inflammation and pain?
    A week ago I woke up with a headache,fever,my throat was sore and my gums were really swollen and painful. I also noticed my lymphatic nodes under my jawlikne were enlarged so I went to the doctor who prescribed me an antibiotic and it did help about the sore throat and cold symptoms but my gums still hurt like it’s unbearable,I can’t eat anything solid.
    I went to the doctor again and they said I should rest,take lots of vitamin C and rinse my mouth with a sort of herbal tea. They also changed my antibiotic because the first one gave me tiny little bumps on my face.
    The problem is that it’s just not getting better or worse it’s just stagnating and the pain is so severe I wake up and cry. I take some over the counter painkillers to take the edge off but it’s a really intense throbbing pain throughout my jaw and on the surface the small cuts on my gums I got by eating a few days ago are burning.
    .
    Now I also have some burning small bumps on the tip of my tongue and 2 bumps on my lips. My lymphatic nodes are still a little enlarged and I don’t know what to do anymore.There is no necrosis and no trenchmouth present and the antibiotics that i take cover spirochetes.

    I don’t suppose I have vitamin C deficiency because I take vitamin c in my vitamin drink every day. I had trouble with my gums a while before and it was because of plaque but this time I don’t think it’s plaque because I had it removed 3-4 months ago. I tend to take good care of my teeth but in the past 3 weeks I’ve been out a lot and forgot to wash my teeth after I got home a couple of times. I used to drink and smoke on evenings like that though I don’t usually smoke every day,only socially.

    I will probably go to a hospital for some tests this week but I also want to know what could have caused this and what the possible treatments are? The pain is especially severe,my whole lower jaw and cheeks hurt.
    I’m 22 and not pregnant,just had the last day of my period about the time when the symptoms started/
    The antibiotic that was prescribed to me at first and caused an allergic raction was Amoxicillin.

    I am taking now is Doxycycline.

    • ANSWER:
      You need to go to a doctor who specializes in gums and teeth… a dentist or a periodontist. Plaque is constantly being formed in the mouth and is the reason why you need to brush 2xday. What you had removed 3-4 months ago was tartar, the crystalized plaque.
      Although you may not being seeing signs of trenchmouth, there are other health concerns that may play a role. It is important you get these diagnosed by the right professional.
      ER doctors and family doctors have very little training when it comes to oral diseases.

  19. QUESTION:
    my gum bleed ever-time i brush but the is no inflammation or signs of Gingivitis and Periodontitis.?
    anyone tell me how to cure this
    any other symptoms i should look out for?

    • ANSWER:
      Bleeding gums is in itself a sign of gum disease….Just because there is no inflammation doesn’t mean everything is good. Get a professional cleaning and let them inspect for disease.

      **What Are the Symptoms of Gum Disease?
      Gum disease may progress painlessly, producing few obvious signs, even in the late stages of the disease. Although the symptoms of periodontal disease often are subtle, the condition is not entirely without warning signs. Certain symptoms may point to some form of the disease.

      The symptoms of gum disease include:

      Gums that bleed during and after tooth brushing
      Red, swollen, or tender gums
      Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
      Receding gums
      Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
      Loose or shifting teeth
      Changes in the way teeth fit together upon biting down, or in the fit of partial dentures.

      Even if you don’t notice any symptoms, you may still have some degree of gum disease. In some people, gum disease may affect only certain teeth, such as the molars. Only a dentist or a periodontist can recognize and determine the progression of gum disease.

  23. QUESTION:
    What can I use to cure inflammation of my gum? I have tried Bactidol, Dexaltin & Kenalog; none helped!?

    • ANSWER:
      It is actually a periodontist who you want to see. An orthodontist fits you for braces! Anyway, before seeking out a periodontist (a doctor who specializes in the gums), I would go to your general dentist and see what the problem is. You may just need a simple cleaning, and probably some scaling (the hygienist goes deep into your gums and cleans out any food or bacteria). Or, you could have tooth that is abcessed and need to have a root canal or extraction (along w/ antibiotics) to get rid of the infection In the mean time, I would recommend swishing and rinsing your mouth w/ warm salt water. After that, I would apply clove oil (found in any health food store) to the afflicted area. The clove oil magically reduces the pain in the affected area.

  24. QUESTION:
    How can I cure my gum disease at home?
    About two months ago I hurt my gum while brushing.And started experiencing inflammation,severe toothaches and my gums also began to bleed and everyday it gets worse and worse. I don’t have insurance or money to go to the dentist. And I wanted to know how to treat it at home or if there’s any over the counter medicine I can buy to treat it.

    • ANSWER:
      OK, the best option is to go to the dentist ASAP, but since you can’t…

      Eating a good diet is definitely helpful, one that has lots of vitamin D in it.

      There is this wonderful mouthwash that I use. You can find it at any healthfood store, it’s called Dr. Ken’s and they come in Christmas colors (at least that’s what I always think of when I see them). They have green tea extract and aloe vera, which helps soothe the gums.

      Speaking of which, drinking lots of green tea is rumored to help out with dental problems.

      And the biggest thing… FLOSS FLOSS FLOSS. Even if it bleeds, keep flossing. My boyfriend has terrible gum disease and this is what his dentists tell him. He doesn’t have the money for surgery either, but he has been able to keep it under control by flossing (because I make him) and getting his teeth and gums cleaned regularly.

      I know it’s scary. Get to the dentist as soon as you can, they can help you!

  25. QUESTION:
    how do you get rid of inflammation of gums?
    i have braces. and i am getting them off next week(exactly). i found in the middle of my front teeth that they are somwhat inflammed. so i flossed and brushed and they bled. are there any other ways to get rid of it? and when will it go away? will it go away before i get them off? PLEASE HELP!

    • ANSWER:
      You are right. If your gums bleed when you floss or brush they are inflammed. To clear this up keep flossing and brushing. Use your tooth brush with no toothpaste on it. Make sure it is a soft brush and gently massage the gums in a circular motion. They will bleed for a couple more days but if you keep doing this a few times a day they should be back in good shape when you get your braces off.. By the way congratulations and I hope your smile looks great.

  26. QUESTION:
    Gum disease w/ out the inflammation of the gums and bleeding easily? I NEED HELP!!?
    So at the root of some of my teeth theres a white line on them and one of my teeth has a very little pocket between the gums and the tooth. but when i touch through the pocket, its hard and it doesn’t hurt. I don’t understand whats going on there, but I don’t think its normal to have a pocket like that cause it wasn’t there before. I went to a dentist a month ago and they said my teeth were fine though they noticed the white parts and told me to use dental hygiene more. but it just came as a shock today when i was scratching my teeth with my nails from the roots up, and i felt a small separation. should i go straight to the dentist or are there a great natural remedy I can use? I’d prefer that, because going to the dentist is expensive and I dont want to get my mom mad (I’m 15). I’m not sure if its gum disease.. cause the only symptom I’ve noticed was the receding of that one tooth (if it even is receding. otherwise why was there that hard part through the hole?). and its only at a sliver on the front of the tooth. the back of it is sealed and the tooth isn’t wiggly, and doesn’t hurt I think. ugh what do I do? The tooth is my first premolar on my left side (bottom tooth). I’m not sure if its a baby tooth trying to come out though. I mean when i lost teeth before they were wiggly and I dont remember spaces being between the gums and the teeth. are premolars even replaceable by a permanent tooth? i dont even remember if i lost it already. im just freaked out and would like some help, please! if you can give me a natural remedy to whatever I have, then at what point should I go to the dentist if things aren’t going the right way? how long do i wait til there’s results, basically.

    finally, is this the best way to have good oral hygeine? brush my teeth, floss, then use mouth wash. my mom says i should floss before I brush.. but idk.

    Thanks sooooooooo much. I dont wanna be toothless! lol

      IMHO, premolars are worse than a month

    • ANSWER:
      I don’t have a source, but I think you’re brushing the toddler’s teeth TOO often. It’s causing irritation, especially if you aren’t using a SOFT bristle brush. It’s recommended twice per day (morning and night) or so if memory serves me correctly.

    I have braces and at first they were fine, until I got pregnant. My gums begin to inflame, the OB and the Dentist said that was normal, now that it’s been 2 months since I had the baby I am afraid that my gums will never be normal again. Of course the inflammation has decreased but not very much. I brush twice a day, and I floss when possible, what else can I do?

    • ANSWER:
      YOU HAVE PREGNANCY GINGIVITIS AND IT IS BROUGHT ON BY THE IMBALANCE IN HORMONES AND MADE WORSE Y YOUR BRACES. IT WILL GO AWAY. BRUSH 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND GARGLE WITH WARM SALT WATER.

      IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER YOUR BIRTH, AND WILL TOTALLY DISEAPPEAR WHEN YOUR BRACES GO OFF. IT GETS WORSE IN THE 3RD TRIMESTER USUALLY.

      IT IS NOT A CAUSE FOR CONCERN

  33. QUESTION:
    What could be causing this inflammation?
    A few days ago, I realized that there was some slight inflammation and irritation on the gums on the roof of my mouth, lined up perfectly from my 6 year molar that stretched for about two teeth, headed towards the front of my mouth. Well, the irritation and inflammation increased, and now it has stretched almost to my front teeth, It is painful and swollen. I am wondering if I just irritated it or if there is an underlying cause.

  34. QUESTION:
    How long does it take for the inflammation/redness to go from the gums when treating gingivitis?
    I saw the dentist 2 weeks ago, and have been flossing, brushing my teeth and using the prescribed mouthwash religiously since then. I’m seeing him again tomorrow, but some redness is still there – is this normal. I’m worried that there should have been more of an improvement.

    • ANSWER:
      If you were using as the dentist suggested you should be fine. Depending on the severity of the gingivitis depends on how long it will take your gums to go back to normal. I am assuming that you had a mild case therefore I would say you should be fine within the next 2 – 3 weeks meaning that you would have been doing brushing, flossing and rinsing at least 2 times a day. Good luck and keep it up so it does not happen again.

  35. QUESTION:
    chronic dry mouth and gum irritation?
    I have chronic dry mouth due to a long term medicine therapy. I know this is the cause of my severe gum irritation and inflammation. Is there any special kind of toothpaste or mouthwash that can help?

    • ANSWER:
      You should ask your doctor. My husband just had a special mouthwash prescribed for similar reasons.

  36. QUESTION:
    How do you know if a mouthwash treats instead of perfumes?
    I might have some minor gum inflammation and I read that treating mouthwash can make it go away.

    • ANSWER:
      The best way is to check the label. In a theraputic mouthwash you’ll find ingredients that are meant to kill germs and treat or at least address gum disease. I’m certainly not the last word in mouthwash, but as I think of it, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a mouthwash meant just to perfume breath. That’s what doublemint and altoids are for! =D

  38. QUESTION:
    Gum issue after root canal treatment!?
    I had a root canal on saturday. Today is tuesday and my gum is still hurt around it. Started on sunday a day after the treatment with gum inflammation and toothache. Not the toothache is completly gone but the gum is still inflamated. Went back to dentist and she said that lets wait a bit more it can be normal. 3 days later my gums are still hurting? they were putting permanent root filling at the first time and a temprary crown over it!!
    Sorry i meant that the tooth isnt hurting anymore at all but the gum is still inflammated around it!

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like you may have some localised gingivitis (inflammed gums) around your temporary crown. This is normal and revesible when the permanent crown is fitted. Just try and keep your temporary crown clean.

      Often after a root canal treatement, there is a dull ache from the general area around the tooth. That is often a sign that the root filling is very close to the tip of the root (a good thing!) This dull ache can be hard to localise to a specific area.

      I have had both root canals and temporary crowns and both have been slightly sore for a couple of weeks after treatment.

      Warm salt water is the best thing for gingivitis

  40. QUESTION:
    Why do I have a red gum around dental crown?
    I have a crowned incisor which I had redone in 2004. I have had no problems with it until 2009 when the gum around the crown became red and inflamed. It started as small spots of redness and gradually spread until the whole gumline around the crown is bright red and bleeds whenever I brush it.

    I am worried the gum is receding and the redness won’t go away! My dentist (who did the crown and the original it replaced) thinks it is gum inflammation caused by pregnancy hormones (I had a baby in May 2008 and January 2011).

    I keep it very clean, have had it checked and x-rayed and there is no other apparent cause of this redness.

    Has anyone had anything similar? Will it go away and how do I get it to calm down?
    Thanks. I do floss but the water pik looks like a great idea. My dentist gave me wiry things to clean around it but they don’t help.

    My tooth isn’t actually crowned anymore, it’s a dental implant now (thank you google!) so there shouldn’t be any problem with infection inside.

  41. QUESTION:
    Are my wisdom teeth causing all my sicknesses?
    This whole year, my bottom wisdom teeth have been giving me grief. They erupt from the gum and cause pain and swelling in my mouth. Also, this year, I have been feeling lethargic, went through a strange viral infection, a urinary tract infection, and just recently a gum inflammation infection (ANUG). I have always been a very healthy, happy person, but as of this year, I have been getting these strange illnesses and infections. Do you think my wisdom teeth have anything to do with the fact that I have been feeling lethargic and have been susceptible to being sick?

    • ANSWER:
      I was always getting earaches when I was younger, and my Dr. told me it was probably caused from my wisdom teeth moving up and down, They would never break thru the surface. So, I had them pulled out, and no more ear aches!

  42. QUESTION:
    Does penicillin cause more inflammation as it starts to fight infection?
    I recently found out I have a tooth abscess due to ignoring a canvity. There was swelling and a pouch of pus on my gum. I got some antibiotics and have started taking them but it seems as if there is another pouch and more swelling. Is this natural as the antibiotics start to work?

    • ANSWER:
      It can in some people. Always depends on the situation. Of course, you could be slightly allergic to it or another complication could arise. If you’re worried, I’d say call up the doc and ask for a bit of advice just to be on the safe side. A little paranoia beats death/removal of half your jaw anyday.

  45. QUESTION:
    Why can advanced gum disease lead to something even worse…heart disease?
    Explain the process. I guess the problem is inflammation in the gums and our immune system…and very bad bacteria that triggers something akin to cholesterol plaques in the coronary arteries…right in our mouths!!!!!!!!

    The war, I guess, is between the bad bacteria and the probiotics in our mouths.

  50. QUESTION:
    teeth issues, gum is pulsating?
    I just got a large filling in a bottom molar about 6 days ago. That tooth isn’t bothering me at all right now, but the one above it is pulsating. It doesn’t hurt it is just an annoying pulsating to it. It feels like the gum actually not the tooth. It doesn’t hurt when I eat or drink anything, and normally starts bugging me at night. I don’t clinch my teeth or grind my teeth, so I am trying to figure out if this has to do with my bite. The dentist said I didn’t have any cavities so I don’t understand. There does seem to be inflammation of the gums. Some inflammation I had has gone away but that tooth or gums I can’t tell is still buggin me and driving me insane. What could it be. It has subsided some since I got the permanent filling in the other tooth but it still bugs me, especially at night. Is this my bite? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Sound like you need to have the bite adjusted. It could be that the one tooth is taking the bulk of your biting force. The reason the gums feel wierd is bc the ligagents that hold the tooth to the soket are acting as schock absorbers. In your case they are working over time. have the filling adjusted so that your biting force is spread over many teeth and not concentrated on one tooth.
