Swollen and irritated gums, often linked to gingivitis, might not initially cause major problems. However, if left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to soft tissue and bone inflammation, eventually causing tooth loss.
Gingivitis, characterized by swollen gums, can stem from various factors like nutrient deficiencies, hormonal changes, or infections. Treating and preventing swollen gums involves different methods based on the underlying cause.
