The gums are not red or swollen, but they are painful

It is essential to maintain good brushing habits in order to prevent oral diseases. Severe oral diseases can not only cause gum recession and bleeding teeth, but also affect the normal chewing function of teeth. However, most patients with swollen and sore gums will have red and swollen gums, but there are also a small number of patients who find that their gums are not red or swollen, but what is the severe pain?

Mainly due to the usual lack of attention to oral hygiene, incomplete brushing leads to dental plaque, and the accumulation of dental calculus stimulates the gum tissue to produce gingivitis, which is manifested as swollen and painful gums, and bleeding when brushing. It is recommended to go to the dental department of a regular hospital to clean your teeth, remove calculus thoroughly, develop good oral hygiene habits, brush your teeth on time, and don't eat sweets.

Plaque is a colorless, soft, and unmineralized colony attached to the tooth surface, and it has not yet formed mineralized calculus for dental plaque, so it is relatively easy to remove.

Clinically, the best way to remove plaque is to brush your teeth mechanically, and your dentist recommends brushing your teeth once a day after meals, that is, at least three times a day, for no less than three minutes each time. Brushing teeth should be done with horizontal vibrating Pap brushing, each time a short distance of horizontal vibratoring, for the gingival sulcus, should be cleaned with the inclination of the brush head at an angle of 45 degrees to the long axis of the teeth, and at the same time for the labial occlusal surface and tongue surface of the teeth, should be cleaned. For the adjacent space of the teeth that are difficult to brush with the toothbrush, you should use dental floss and interspace brush to clean better, under normal circumstances, this cleaning method of physical friction every day can remove most of the plaque in the mouth.

For the tartar formed due to long-term plaque deposition, we recommend going to a professional dental department every six months to a year for dental scaling, also known as supragival cleaning, which is a process of thorough cleaning of tartar and dental bacteria in the oral cavity through ultrasound combined with sterile water irrigation.

By insisting on applying the right method every day, brushing and cleaning your teeth at the right time, combined with scaling treatment every six months to one year, you can better control the plaque in the mouth.
