What color is the gum normal?

All normal gums are light pink in color, elastic in material (this toughness is very important), and there are small dents like orange peel on the surface, which is called stippling. After gingivitis, the color can change to bright red and dark red, the material becomes softer and softer, and some stippling will fade. Touching the gums lightly can lead to bleeding.

1, cultivate excellent oral hygiene habits. Whitening toothpaste and soft toothbrush strongly recommended by the national dental organization should be used. Brush your teeth 2-3 times a day, and once before staying up late is essential. When it is too late or inconvenient to brush your teeth, you can use gargle instead. In some unique places, you can rinse your mouth with soup or tea to keep your mouth clean.

2. Prevent inflammatory oral diseases. Periodontitis, dental calculus, oral ulcer, gingivitis, gingival cyst, gingival recession and inappropriate removable denture are all causes of gingival atrophy due to stimulation, so you should go to the hospital regularly for physical examination and treatment, and carry out consultation on relevant oral health care expertise; Surgery can also be performed on the contracted gums.

3, resolutely put an end to air pollution. Arsenic and lead poisoning can cause periodontitis, gingival edema and gingival atrophy, so we should attach great importance to our working and living ecological environment to prevent contact with toxic substances.
