What is gingival hyperplasia?
1, the definition of chewing gum is too long

Gingival hyperplasia, also known as gingival hyperplasia, is an oral disease caused by abnormal proliferation of gingival tissue around teeth. Under normal circumstances, the gums should be closely attached around the teeth, but when the periodontal tissue is stimulated or damaged, it will cause the physiological reaction of the gums. The hyperplastic gingival tissue will lead to unsightly oral cavity and affect oral hygiene.

2. Symptoms of long gums

For most people, they will find that the most obvious symptom of gum growth is the narrowing of teeth and the emergence of long teeth. If the patient's gums are too long and serious, symptoms such as drooling in the mouth and bad breath may also occur. In terms of oral cleaning, too long gums will lead to difficulties in oral cleaning, and also cause some oral diseases and dental caries.

3, the reason why the gums are too long

When the gingival tissue around the teeth is stimulated, it will lead to gingival hyperplasia. These stimuli include trivial gum irritation, abnormal tongue position, lack of chewing and so on. Some people suffer from genetic factors, which lead to gum growth.

4, gum treatment time is too long.

The treatment of gingival hyperplasia can be divided into surgical operation and non-surgical operation. Surgery includes excision and gum transplantation. The former mainly involves surgical removal of excessively long gingival tissues and tumors, while the latter involves transplanting healthy gums into excessively long gingival areas. Non-surgical treatment mainly includes laser and cryotherapy, which can effectively remove gingival tissue without affecting surrounding teeth and gingival tissue.
