What to do if the gums are separated from the teeth

Gums are a very important part of the tooth structure. People's teeth can develop better in the mouth mainly because of the stability of the gums. Many people will encounter situations in their daily lives where the teeth and gums are obviously separated. When this happens, many people will experience bleeding gums or other symptoms when eating. Directly affect people's normal life. So if you find that your gums are away from your teeth, what methods should you use to deal with it?

Gum atrophy is a common disease, mostly caused by periodontal disease. Gum atrophy is divided into pathological atrophy and physiological atrophy. Pathological atrophy is mainly caused by tartar in the lower part of the gums. In severe cases, it can also cause loose and falling teeth. Physiological atrophy mainly occurs with age and generally does not require treatment. It can usually be delayed as long as good health care is taken. Gum recession often occurs in people who do not pay attention to daily tooth cleaning and health care, as well as the elderly.

Steps/Methods:

1. In our daily lives, we need to brush our teeth every day. However, since some people's toothbrushes do not meet the standards, incorrect brushing methods can also cause gum atrophy, such as brushing teeth horizontally, which we usually see the most. There is another reason that can cause gum recession. Some teeth in our mouth have not been used for a long time and have been in a state of abandonment. Over time, this can also cause the roots and alveoli to shrink.

2. Even if the elderly pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of their teeth in daily life, they will still have some symptoms of gum atrophy to a greater or lesser extent. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As people age, the organ functions of various parts of the body will gradually decline. It’s just that some people take good care of themselves and the degeneration is slower, while some elderly people who do not take good care of themselves will have more serious gum atrophy. The main cause of gum recession in young people is additives, drugs, etc. in food.

3. The initial symptom of gum atrophy is an allergic reaction of sourness and pain in the teeth when eating sour, cold, sweet, or hot foods. Gradually, the gaps between the teeth will increase. If there are no symptoms of gum atrophy, no treatment is required. If different symptoms have already appeared, symptomatic treatment should be given according to the cause, such as: changing the way of brushing teeth, repairing malocclusion, etc.

Note:

Gum recession cannot be reversed, and the focus should be on prevention. Pay attention to the cleaning and health of your teeth in daily life. Be sure to brush your teeth before going to bed at night. Be sure to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water after eating sour and sweet foods. Try not to drink cola and other beverages. You can have your teeth cleaned twice a year.
