Red swollen gums, also known as gingival inflammation, are a common oral health issue where the gum tissue becomes inflamed, tender, and enlarged. This condition is often caused by plaque buildup on the teeth, which contains bacteria that irritate the gums and lead to gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease. Gingivitis is characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can result in gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. Other causes of red, swollen gums include hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy or puberty), certain medications that affect gum tissue, poor nutrition (particularly vitamin deficiencies), smoking, and systemic conditions like diabetes, which can increase susceptibility to infections. Treatment for red swollen gums primarily involves improving oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and bacteria. A professional dental cleaning may be necessary to remove hardened plaque (tartar) that cannot be eliminated by brushing alone. In more severe cases, deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing may be required to remove bacteria from beneath the gum line. Addressing any underlying systemic conditions and making lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and improving diet, can also help reduce gum inflammation. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to preventing the progression of gum disease and maintaining overall oral health.
