Swollen gums

Do you suffer from swollen gums? Then this can be an indication for inflamed gums. Inflamed gums can lead to serious problems with your teeth and gums.

Swollen gums are often accompanied by other gum complaints. The gums can be very sensitive or even bleed. The color of the gums can also be redder than normal. These are serious indications for gum disease.

Causes swollen gums

Having swollen gums can be caused by a number of reasons. Ultimately it is mainly about the way in which oral hygiene is maintained.

• Brush too hard
• Brush with a too hard toothbrush
• Too little brushing of the teeth
• Insufficient flossing
• Poor oral care in general
• Smoking
• Pregnancy

Consequences of swollen gums

Unfortunately, gum problems do not resolve automatically. If the gum problems are not addressed, this can ultimately lead to tooth loss. The possible consequences of swollen gums are:

• Inflamed gums (gingivitis)
• Periodontitis
