Can methoxazole treat gingivitis?

I believe everyone knows that gingivitis is a common oral disease. Among the many types of oral diseases, gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums and gums. Most of the causes are due to unclean oral cavity, tartar on the teeth, and frequent wearing of dentures. After gingivitis occurs, don't rush to use metronidazole for treatment. First look at the correct treatment method.

What tests should be done to distinguish gingivitis?

1. Gums are commonly known as "gums". Gingivitis, as the name suggests, means the inflammation of the "gums". It is mostly due to unclean daily teeth, accumulation of calculus (tartar) on the tooth surface, which often irritates the gums. At the same time, the uneven surface of tartar is conducive to the attachment and reproduction of bacteria, thus causing gum inflammation. Gingivitis can occur due to reasons such as misaligned teeth, food stuck between teeth, and poorly-filled dentures that press and irritate the gums.

Gingivitis is generally not painful, but it can cause the gums to bleed easily when brushing teeth or eating hard food. Gums with gingivitis appear red (dark red) and lose their tough, smooth appearance. The teeth are not loose, and no pus flows out of the gum gap when the gums are squeezed. Sometimes spontaneous bleeding may occur.

2. Tartar is the key to the occurrence of gingivitis, so the main treatment measure is to remove tartar (i.e. use ultrasonic dental scaler for teeth cleaning). In addition, bad denture fillings should be removed. If gingivitis is caused by other systemic diseases such as anemia, leukemia, vitamin C deficiency, etc., these diseases must be properly treated in order to effectively cure gingivitis.

The lesions of gingivitis are limited to the gums, without damage to the deep periodontal tissues. After removing local factors, the inflammation of the gums subsides in about a week, the damaged collagen fibers can be regenerated, and the color, shape, texture and function of the gums can completely return to normal, with a good prognosis. However, if the patient cannot effectively control the plaque and check the teeth regularly, resulting in a large accumulation of plaque, gingivitis is likely to recur.
