Gum recession is caused by periodontal disease , and there is calculus at the bottom of the gums , which can cause gum recession and loose teeth. Gingival atrophy is divided into two types: pathological atrophy and physiological atrophy. Pathological atrophy is mainly caused by the presence of foreign bodies (calculus) in the gingival margin, which has not been cleaned for a long time, and is caused by bacterial growth and stimulation. Or less atrophy, which exposes the root of the tooth. This is called physiological atrophy, which does not require treatment, but can be delayed through health care .
Gum recession is essentially due to the long-term lack of vitamin C, which leads to gingival malnutrition and low immune function, thus showing atrophy and degeneration. Once gingival recession occurs, it is difficult to regenerate the gingiva and alveolar bone to restore the original height.
treat:
1. Learn how to brush your teeth correctly. A toothbrush with soft bristles and a blunt tip is recommended. The toothpaste is preferably fluoride toothpaste, and the abrasive contained in it should be of appropriate thickness. At the same time to learn the correct brushing posture, most people can use vertical brushing method or short horizontal flutter method. Use toothpicks and floss as necessary to clean hard-to-reach places, etc.
2, diet . Lycium barbarum boiled lean meat or raw ground, cooked ground, ginger each 15 grams boiled eggs, the therapeutic effect is good, can be eaten for a long time.
3. If the patient feels that some teeth are moving abnormally, they should go to the hospital for examination in time for symptomatic treatment. It is mainly caused by the existence of foreign bodies in the gingival margin that cannot be cleaned for a long time, and the long-term stimulation of bacterial growth. In addition, with the increase of age, there will be more or less atrophy, exposing the root of the tooth. This is called physiological atrophy, is it not? requiring treatment. Then there are the sequelae left by improper dental surgery.
Keeping clean is the most effective way to delay gum recession, and regular cleaning is also very important. Inflammatory gingival recession, mainly characterized by red , swollen and painful gums , and bleeding when brushing teeth is common . The gingival recession in the elderly often makes the exposed teeth extremely sensitive to hot and cold temperature changes and acidic foods, which hinders eating and reduces the quality of life.
