Gum infections are common diseases that cause disorders in the mouth and teeth. They also cause redness, swelling, and easy bleeding of the gums.
There are many reasons for gum infections that are accompanied by severe pain and bleeding, and sometimes they are not accompanied by feeling pain in the initial and early stages of gum infections, but good oral health and daily tooth brushing, as well as adequate nutrition, are among the most important reasons that help eliminate gingivitis and prevent it. Of which.
There are gum infections resulting from the formation of fungi, the presence of a swollen area, the release of pus, and the formation of an abscess. There is also a second famous type, which is hormonal gum infections, which result from an increase in certain hormones, especially with an increase in female hormones. Such as estrogen and progesterone, and women are more sensitive to the presence of plaque and bacteria accumulation around the gums.
It is important to be aware of the danger of bacteria accumulating on the gums and teeth, as these bacteria exist in the form of a thin layer, consisting mainly of saliva, food waste, and cells that are constantly deposited on the teeth and multiply in the mouth with the absence of brushing the teeth or using toothpaste and mouthwash.
Neglecting treatment of gum infections in the long term, continued bleeding in the teeth and gums, and the inflammation reaching the stage of suppuration, all of this can ultimately lead to tooth loss.
