Introduction
可从疼痛部位、伴随Symptoms、持续时间、触摸牙龈的感觉、口腔Examination结果的不同等方面判断是长智齿还是牙龈上火。如果任何不适，应咨询Doctor。长智齿和牙龈上火都需要注意Diet，Patient需多食用富含维生素C、维生素E和纤维素的食物。
Pain location, accompanying symptoms, duration, sensation upon touching the gums, and differences in oral examination findings can generally help distinguish between wisdom tooth eruption and gingival inflammation (commonly referred to as "gum heat"). If any discomfort occurs, medical advice should be sought. Specific details are as follows:
1. Pain Location
Pain from erupting wisdom teeth usually occurs deep within the mouth, often accompanied by pain or a burning sensation. In contrast, gingival inflammation typically causes pain or inflammation on the surface of the mouth or along the gumline.
2. Accompanying Symptoms
Wisdom tooth eruption may be associated with bad breath, swollen gums, or oral bleeding. Gingival inflammation may present with symptoms such as dry mouth, halitosis, or oral ulcers.
3. Duration
Pain from erupting wisdom teeth tends to persist over time, whereas gingival inflammation is often temporary and usually resolves on its own within a few days.
4. Sensation Upon Touching the Gums
If a wisdom tooth is erupting, touching the gums may reveal swelling and tenderness. With gingival inflammation, the pain and inflammation are typically felt on the oral mucosa.
5. Oral Examination Findings
In cases of erupting wisdom teeth, examination may reveal gum swelling in the wisdom tooth area, sometimes accompanied by gum fissures, and the tooth may not have fully emerged. In cases of gingival inflammation, a dentist may observe localized redness, swelling, bleeding, ulcers, or pain in the gums.
Both wisdom tooth eruption and gingival inflammation require attention to diet. Patients should consume more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and fiber.
