Gingival atrophy is an oral disease. After the patient suffers from gingival atrophy, the naked eye can see that the teeth become longer and bigger, and the roots are gradually exposed. Moreover, their teeth will be sensitive to hot, cold, sweet and sour diets, and biting hard objects will also have a tingling sensation. There are many reasons for gingival atrophy, such as incorrect brushing methods or periodontitis, which will lead to gingival atrophy.

First, how to treat gingival atrophy? 1. In general, if the patient has slight gingival atrophy, and has no uncomfortable symptoms or toothache, it will not be visible to outsiders and will not affect the appearance. Generally, there is no need for treatment, and it will not cause serious consequences.

2. If the gingival atrophy is caused by periodontitis, it is necessary to go to the stomatological hospital to treat the periodontal tissue first, so as to restore the health of the periodontal tissue and prevent the inflammation of the periodontal tissue from further causing gingival atrophy.

3. Correct your oral hygiene habits. When brushing your teeth, you should choose appropriate brushing methods and tools and buy fluoride toothpaste. Usually, the toothbrush for brushing teeth should be soft, and the food residue between teeth should be cleaned by flossing frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria. It is best to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after meals every day, and brush your teeth twice in the morning and evening.

4. If the gingival atrophy is very obvious and visible to the naked eye, we must take remedial measures, go to the hospital for surgery in time, carry out allergy treatment and tooth veneering. It can also improve the aesthetic sensitivity and pain symptoms of patients' teeth to varying degrees.

5. After suffering from gingival atrophy, you must go to the hospital for review and maintenance in time, which can consolidate and prevent gingival atrophy, further development or recurrence.

Conclusion Gingival atrophy can happen to everyone, there is no strict age limit, and everyone has different degrees. There is no very effective treatment for most gingival atrophy, because gingival atrophy is irreversible, which is likely to cause all teeth to fall off and no longer implant.
