How to judge whether a child has tooth inflammation?

Many children often suffer from tooth inflammation because they do not pay attention to their meals or often like to eat snacks or candies. At this time, as long as it is discovered early, the treatment will be relatively simple. However, many parents cannot discover their children’s tooth inflammation early. Today, the editor will tell you what the symptoms of tooth inflammation in children are.

1. Gum color: Normal gums are pink. When suffering from gingivitis, the free gums and gingival papillae turn deep red or dark red. This is due to congestion and hyperplasia of blood vessels in the gingival connective tissue.

2. Bleeding gums: This is often the main symptom of gingivitis patients. It often occurs when brushing teeth or biting hard objects, and occasionally there may be spontaneous bleeding.

3. Gum texture: Due to inflammatory infiltration in the connective tissue and the disappearance of collagen fibers, the originally dense gums become soft, fragile and lack elasticity. In some chronic inflammations, the epithelium on the gingival surface proliferates and thickens, and collagen fibers proliferate, making the gingival surface appear hard and thick, but the inner wall of the periodontal pocket is inflamed and bleeding is observed upon probing.

4. Bleeding on probing: Healthy gums do not cause bleeding when brushing or probing the gingival sulcus. When you have gingivitis, your teeth will bleed when you touch them lightly, and they will also bleed when you probe them. Bleeding after probing is an important objective indicator for diagnosing whether the gums are inflamed.

5. Gum shape: Normal gums should be thin and close to the tooth surface. When suffering from gingivitis, due to tissue edema, the gum margin becomes thicker and no longer close to the tooth surface, and the gingival papilla becomes round, blunt and enlarged, and no longer close to the tooth surface. In cases where inflammation and exudation are the main lesions, the gums are soft and enlarged, with a shiny surface, and the gingival margin is sometimes eroded and exudated; in cases where fibrosis is the main lesion, the gums are tough and enlarged, sometimes nodular and covering part of the tooth surface.

Although parents should not give their children too many snacks on a normal basis, because this may cause inflammation of the children's teeth or easily cause them to have tooth decay, the above are some symptoms of tooth inflammation in children. I hope everyone can discover this condition early, so that treatment will be easier.
