Swollen Gums: Causes and Homeopathic Treatment
What are Swollen Gums?
Swollen gums, or gingival swelling, is a painful dental condition characterized by inflammation in the tissues supporting the teeth. This condition can lead to gum bleeding, pain, and even displacement of dental structures if left untreated.
Common Causes of Swollen Gums
- Poor Dental Hygiene: Plaque buildup can irritate the gums.
- Infections: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can lead to gum inflammation.
- Gum Disease: Advanced conditions like gingivitis or periodontitis.
- Vitamin Deficiency: Lack of vitamin C, for example, can lead to scurvy and swollen gums.
- Hormonal Changes: During pregnancy or menstruation.
- Allergic Reactions: Sensitivities to certain foods or dental hygiene products.
