What are the causes of gum pain? The gums that
support your teeth may be tingling, redder, or
swollen and lumpy. What are the causes of these
unpleasant symptoms on the gums? 1. Periodontal
disease Speaking of gum disease, periodontal
disease is probably the most worrisome. When the
condition of the periodontal disease worsens, the
alveolar bone under the gums melts, causing the
teeth to wobble. As a result, pain occurs when
you chew food or when your teeth bite each other
in conversation. In the early stages of
progression, the teeth are not wobbling yet, but
many people feel itchy pain, such as tingling or
stuffiness in the gums.

2. Apical periodontitis Apical periodontitis is a
condition in which the infection has spread to
the roots of the teeth. The cause is caused by
tooth decay and periodontal disease, and the
nerves of the teeth die. In this case, there is
no severe pain, but when you brush your teeth or
when your teeth bite each other during meals or
conversation you will feel slight pain or
discomfort.
3. Root fracture A root fracture is a condition
in which a small crack is created and the
infection spreads to the gums, even if you look
into your mouth and do not seem to have a missing
tooth. You may find it broken after taking an
X-ray or pulling out your teeth.

Self-care when gums hurt Here's what you can do
at home when you have gum pain. 1. Avoid
irritating foods and drinks It is natural and
natural to avoid irritants when you have pain in
your mouth. It should be noted that spicy foods,
curry, and ethnic foods that are rich in spices,
citrus fruits, and other fruits should also be
noted. Please note that orange juice and
grapefruit juice can also be irritating when you
have a strong pain such as a mouth ulcer. Read

3. Applying commercially available
ointments Ointments and patches for mouth ulcers
are sold at drug stores. You may want to keep it
at home. If you have pain at night and can't
sleep, apply a commercially available ointment
and see what happens. When applying, gargle once,
remove saliva with a tissue, etc., and apply it
to the itchy or painful area with a clean hand or
cotton swab. It is recommended that you do not
eat or drink for about 30 minutes after that, as
the ointment you have applied will come off.
2. Dental Hygiene Keep your mouth clean. If you
have pain in your gums, you may be worried that
you may hit it with a toothbrush. However, when
the number of bacteria in your mouth increases,
inflammation becomes better and you are more
likely to get infected. It is important to keep
your mouth clean as usual. Please note that
mouthwash with added alcohol may be irritating.
