Disease description:
Department of Stomatology
Gingivitis, characterized by frequent inflammation, swelling, and pain of the gums, is a common oral disease. The primary cause of gingivitis is dental plaque—a sticky film formed on the tooth surface by food debris and bacteria. If not cleaned promptly, plaque gradually accumulates and leads to gum inflammation. Poor oral hygiene habits, vitamin C deficiency, smoking, and other factors may also contribute to gingivitis. For recurring gum inflammation, swelling, and pain, timely medical consultation is recommended. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on individual patient conditions. In addition to treating the inflammation, doctors also pay attention to patients' dietary habits. Patients are advised to consume more foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables, to boost immunity. Quitting smoking is also crucial, as the chemicals in tobacco can irritate the gums and worsen inflammation.
