Why is the gum swelling when the child changes teeth?

Children may have some adverse physiological reactions during the period of tooth replacement, the first of which is swollen gums. Most swollen gums need to be actively discovered and treated as soon as possible. Children should be trained to brush their teeth and gargle in the morning and evening. After tooth decay is discovered, regular treatment should be given. Do not eat sugar, biscuits, or starchy foods before going to bed. It is very important to maintain a light diet.

Disease treatment

Appropriate periodontal treatment (gingival abscess, periodontal abscess), root canal treatment (acute apical periodontitis) or tooth extraction (pericoronitis of wisdom teeth) is required after acute inflammation is controlled. The treatment options for periodontal abscess and gingival abscess are

1. Acute periodontal abscess

1. Treatment goal is to eliminate acute symptoms and signs as quickly as possible.

2. Treatment considerations

(1) Removal of plaque and calculus, debridement and drainage of periodontal pockets, or excision and drainage of abscesses

(2) Appropriate occlusal adjustment and antibiotic application may be considered.

(3) After the acute symptoms are controlled, a comprehensive periodontal assessment and systematic periodontal treatment should be performed.

(4) Before the abscess matures, it can be cleaned, the bag can be rinsed and medicated, and systemic medication can be used if necessary.

(ii) Gingival abscess

1. Remove relevant local irritants. Such as removing impacted food debris, eliminating overhangs in fillings, and removing foreign objects such as fish bones.

2. Eliminate acute inflammation and relieve pain. After removing local irritants, apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or 0.12% chlorhexidine solution for local flushing, and apply compound iodine solution to the gingival papilla.

3. Treatment is directed at the cause. After the acute inflammation of gingivitis is controlled, not only should the original gingivitis be treated, but the cause should also be completely eliminated, such as removing the pathogenic factors that cause impaction, modifying the edges of poor restorations, and treating interproximal caries.
