Inflammation of the gums is a fairly common disease that occurs as a result of the multiplication of bacteria. Harmful microorganisms with insufficient hygiene settle between the gums and teeth and actively “multiply”. In many cases, you can get rid of the bacteria on your own, in which case simple hygiene will help.
If you stretch the time and do not begin to engage in timely rehabilitation of the oral cavity, then with periodontal disease, for example, the cervical part of the teeth will become bare simultaneously with the formation of purulent and bleeding pockets. Breathing will become foul, and when consumed hot or, conversely, cold food, your teeth and gums will begin to ache and fit on the wall for painful sensations.
