Nowadays, people have more and more types of food. Many good-looking and delicious foods are covered with various auxiliary materials, additives and pigments. Many people like to eat them. When these things enter the mouth, a small part will be imbued into the gaps of teeth. If they are not cleaned in time, they will cause a series of tooth and oral problems.
In recent years, people are increasingly paying attention to oral health, especially gum problems. If you are not careful, it may cause damage to the entire oral health. Only when the gums are in a healthy state can the health of teeth and oral health be guaranteed, but gum atrophy may pose a threat of oral lesions.
gingival atrophy
gingival atrophy is a periodontal disease. When the gums recession, they will bring unexpected consequences. They not only affect the beauty but also cannot better maintain the roots. They are prone to external stimulation, which causes discomfort in the oral cavity, and ultimately affects the dental nerves and leads to endodontic diseases.
gingival recession is quite common. Studies have shown that more than 50% of people will have gum recession. The prevalence of gum recession is related to factors such as trauma, gender, tooth dislocation, inflammation and smoking. Men often get fucked by women, especially among the elderly.
Gingival atrophy is mostly the elderly, but due to changes in dietary structure and hygiene habits, this situation has also occurred in young people, and the probability of gum atrophy in people aged 35-44 is 82.12%.
. Physiologically caused
As we age, the gums will slowly retreat, which generally occur in the elderly, but the gum atrophy caused by age will not cause tooth sensitivity.
As we age, the functions of various organs of the human body gradually decline, and teeth and gums will also begin to gradually degenerate and retreat, and the alveolar bones are gradually absorbed, eventually causing gum atrophy.
. Suffering from periodontitis
If you do not clean your mouth frequently, it will lead to the occurrence of periodontitis. A large amount of food residues will be left between the teeth. For a long time, this will make these food residues irritate the gums, which can easily cause gum problems and teeth loose , leading to inflammation. The long-term presence of inflammation in
will cause the alveolar bone to retract, resulting in gingival atrophy. Many people do not take this matter seriously. Remember that if periodontitis is not treated, it is easy to cause alveolar bone to retreat, gum atrophy, exposed teeth roots, and looseness only when it is thought about how to cure it.
. Tooth misalignment
Uneven teeth will cause the alveolar bones covered by some teeth to become thinner, causing gum recession for a long time. Some inappropriate orthodontic treatment will cause unilateral alveolar bone to absorb , which will in turn cause gingival atrophy.
If your teeth are misaligned or are arranged in an incongruent manner, it causes gum atrophy, mainly because the number of alveolar bones in the human body is fixed. When the teeth are overcrowded, it will cause fewer and fewer alveolar bones on the surface of the teeth, including your usual eating of hard things and bad eating habits will also cause pulp atrophy.
4, tartar
If this situation exists, tartar can directly use as a mechanical stimulus to compress the gums, causing it to shrink; at the same time, tartars are usually accompanied by a large amount of plaque, which can easily lead to inflammation of the periodontal tissue, stimulating the alveolar bone, and eventually leading to gingival atrophy.
5. Incomplete brushing of teeth
Some patients with gingival atrophy are caused by incorrect brushing of teeth. In life, many people brush their teeth perfunctorily or use incorrect brushing methods, which will lead to insufficient deep cleaning of teeth or incomplete cleaning, which will cause various bacteria to grow between the teeth, causing some periodontal gingival inflammation, and finally causing gum atrophy.
Also, if you use improper force to brush your teeth, The hair of the toothbrush is too hard, or if you like to brush your teeth horizontally, etc., it will affect the health of the gums and teeth. will stimulate local tooth flesh and alveolar bones, and will also form gum atrophy.
6. Long-term lack of vitamin C
Vitamin C is a very important nutrient for the human body. If people do not pay attention to timely supplementing the sufficient amount of vitamin C required by the body in real life, then long-term vitamin C deficiency will lead to malnutrition in the gums. It will naturally cause the gums to atrophy and deteriorate, causing the disease to atrophy of gums.
7, Poor oral restoration
If you choose a small clinic to make poor quality denture for cheap, this will cause gum atrophy. When is active, the denture fixing device will directly irritate the gums and cause inflammation.
8, waste gingival atrophy
This situation is because people chew on one side for a long time and the other side does not use it for a long time. This situation leads to lack of functional stimulation of the periodontal tissue, that is, it is in a waste state for a long time.
This will cause the other gums to gradually shrink. When you really want to chew on this tooth, you will find that your teeth become particularly weak and cannot even bite. Therefore, this is also the culprit that causes gum recession. It is best to use both left and right teeth in life.
How to protect teeth in life
1. Regular check
Tooth is used every day, and the teeth are also changing. Most people have not done other care except brushing their teeth, so they need to have regular checks on their teeth. Once a year is standard and cost-effective, and it is also an effective way to prevent gum disease.
Tooth cleaning can not only clean the dirt, soft dirt, and stones on the teeth, but also observe every side of the teeth. If there are any small problems, you can find them in time;
