1. You are pregnant. There are 5% pregnant women who have purplish red or purple lumps between their gums or teeth, which is called pregnancy gingivoma. Although harmless, it will increase oral sensitivity, patients will feel uncomfortable, speech and diet will be affected, gums will bleed, and sometimes there will be pain. The patient needs dental treatment. Gingivoma can occur at any stage of pregnancy, so pay attention to oral hygiene during pregnancy. As long as you are diligent in cleaning after meals, the chance of suffering from this disease is actually very small.
2. If the gums are pale pink or even white, anemia may occur. The blood vessels in the gums are dense. If there are insufficient red blood cells, the gums will turn white. The improvement method can be to eat more foods rich in iron.
3. Many antidepressants can cause xerostomia. These drugs, such as Prozac, Paroxetine and Zoloft, contain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Although these drugs can help people to relieve mental stress and calm their emotions, they will reduce the amount of saliva and leave their teeth unprotected. Users can improve symptoms by using saliva substitutes such as sprays.
4. Too much pressure or anxiety makes the gums prone to problems. Under pressure, people tend to neglect oral hygiene, and the secretion of stress hormones, such as cortisol, increases, which is related to the inflammatory reaction of the body. It will cause gum inflammation, weaken the body's defense ability, and even cause the teeth and bones to fall off.
5. Complications of diabetes. Many patients get diabetes only after seeing a dentist. Common symptoms include abscess on the root or gum, periodontal disease, gingivitis, dry mouth, tooth decay, yeast infection, burning mouth syndrome, lichen planus or wounds that are not easy to heal, so diabetic patients must make regular follow-up visits and take good care of their teeth every day.
6. Patients with immune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and Crohn's disease, often have white reticular lesions in the mouth. Lichen planus is a disease caused by abnormal cellular immune response, which often appears in limbs. If it appears in the oral cavity, it will only appear as white plaque, but if the condition gets worse, it will produce erosion, ulcer and blisters. Generally speaking, except a few ulcer lesions, there may be malignant lesions.
7. Heart problems. Previous studies have found that people with periodontal disease are more likely to suffer from heart disease. Although the cause of the failure is not yet clear, the researchers think it may be related to chronic inflammation.
We often neglect to protect our oral health. It is estimated that nearly 50% of adults suffer from gum-related diseases, which is also the primary cause of tooth loss. So, don't ignore its influence. In addition to cleaning regularly every day, you should also seek medical advice if you feel unwell.
