SWOLLEN GUMS TREATMENT CHELSEA
CAUSES AND TREATMENTS OF SWOLLEN GUMS IN LONDON
Swollen gums can often cause pain, irritation, and bleeding; our team at Emergency Dentist Chelsea is here to help! Additionally, they could indicate gum disease, inflammation, or dental issues.
Sometimes gum swelling hurts, but it can also hurt. Gum swelling is frequently brought on by gum disease. Furthermore, red, swollen gums that may or may not be bleeding are the disease’s initial sign. Teeth that are loose may be the result of the disease’s progressing gums pulling away in specific body parts.
SWOLLEN GUM AND TOOTH PAIN
Mouth swelling can happen to even the most committed teeth-brushers. Even though daily brushing and flossing will drastically reduce the amount of harmful bacteria on your teeth and below your gum line, you can still prevent it. One treatment for this is to gargle with salt water, as it gets rid of bacteria. This is just a home remedy, though, so if the problem gets worse and starts to give you toothaches, you may need to visit a doctor!
SWOLLEN FACE AND GUMS
Gum swelling is also frequently caused by a tooth abscess. This often happens when a cavity goes untreated, giving bacteria room to grow inside your tooth and infect it. Keep in mind that if you ignore it, you might become irritated and eventually lose the tooth. Common causes include pain, red or swollen gums, facial or jaw swelling, fever, sore or tender teeth, and even a salty taste in the mouth. An abscessed tooth needs to be treated; your dentist may recommend antibiotics, extract the tooth entirely, or perform a root canal to remove the infected pulp, depending on the severity of the infection.
WISDOM TOOTH PAIN AND SWOLLEN GUMS
Your wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually start to erupt, or enter your mouth, in late adolescence. Occasionally, they only show up in part or not at all due to space constraints. This illness may lead to pericoronitis, an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the tooth. A flap of gum tissue that forms when a tooth partially emerges into the mouth can readily gather food particles and debris, acting as a haven for bacteria. Pericoronitis can also occur around a wisdom tooth that is still below the gum line and has not yet erupted. This could cause swelling in the gums and around the wisdom teeth, as well as soreness in the far end of the mouth.
INFECTION IN WISDOM TOOTH
Making an appointment with Emergency Dentist Chelsea is essential if you notice any bleeding, swelling, or pain in your gums. This will help to prevent gum disease, pericoronitis, and other infections on your wisdom teeth.
