What should I do if my child’s gums are red, swollen and bleeding?

Teeth are the most important part of every person. Without teeth, you cannot eat the food you like. Without teeth, you cannot show a beautiful smile. Without teeth, your speech will leak. But there are many people who do not cherish their teeth. They do not rinse their mouths in time after eating sweets, allowing tooth decay to harm their teeth. So how to repair the gums? Below is some information collected by the editor.

①Regular oral health care. Experience in developed countries has shown that cleaning teeth every 6 to 12 months is an effective measure to prevent gingivitis. Patients who already have symptoms of periodontal disease should receive systematic periodontal treatment in a timely manner.

②Master the correct method of brushing your teeth. It is recommended to use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a blunt tip. Fluoride toothpaste is preferred, and the abrasive contained in it should be of appropriate coarseness and fineness. At the same time, you must learn the correct brushing posture. Most people can use the vertical brushing method or the short horizontal vibration method. If necessary, use toothpicks and dental floss to clean areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush.

③Don’t pursue cheapness and convenience. Dentures are performed in small clinics with low technical levels and irregular operations, which is also the main reason for poor restorations.

④ If any patient feels that some of his teeth have moved abnormally, he should go to the hospital for examination in time for symptomatic treatment.

The main reason is that there are foreign objects in the gingival margin that have not been cleaned for a long time, resulting in long-term bacterial growth and stimulation. In addition, with the increase of age, atrophy will occur to a greater or lesser extent, exposing the tooth roots. This is called physiological atrophy and does not require treatment. Then there are the sequelae of improper dental surgery. Keeping teeth clean is the most effective way to delay gum recession, and regular teeth cleaning is particularly important. Inflammatory gum atrophy is mainly manifested by red, swollen and painful gums, and bleeding is common when brushing teeth.

The above are some relevant contents that should be paid attention to in gum repair. Everyone can go to the hospital to check the health of their gums, follow the doctor's instructions, pay more attention to oral hygiene, supplement more vitamins and proteins, promote gum repair, protect teeth more, and learn the correct way to brush your teeth. Eat less candy and sweets, make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, and pay more attention to oral hygiene.
