What are the consequences of not treating gingival hyperplasia?

Gums are a type of tissue at the base of teeth. They are very important to teeth, and the roots of teeth need the protection of gums to allow the teeth to stand safely. Although gums are important, they are prone to some abnormal conditions that affect the health of teeth. For example, gingival hyperplasia is a common disease that needs to be treated in a timely manner. What are the consequences of not treating gingival hyperplasia?

Gingival hyperplasia is an increase in the volume of gums due to an increase in the cellular components of the gingival tissue. It is a non-inflammatory change caused by factors other than local stimulation.

Gingival hyperplasia includes drug-induced gingival fibrosis hyperplasia. For those with mild early lesions, scaling can be performed to remove tartar, control plaque and maintain oral hygiene. For those with severe hyperplasia, surgery should be performed to remove the excessive gums.

The dangers of untreated gingival hyperplasia:

1. Harm to the oral cavity: Gingival hyperplasia caused by various periodontal diseases can cause a series of oral harms, the most common of which is affecting the patient's appearance. In addition, the abnormal gingival morphology caused by gingival hyperplasia can lead to plaque accumulation, causing gingival inflammation and bleeding. In severe cases, it can lead to the absorption of alveolar bone, causing loose and displaced teeth, etc.

2. Harm to various systems in the body: Chronic inflammation caused by gingival hyperplasia can cause epithelial erosion of the patient's periodontal pocket in severe cases. Bacteria will enter the blood vessels along the ruptured epithelium and reach various organs in the body through blood circulation, causing related diseases or affecting the specialization of related diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, etc.

For those with severe hyperplasia, surgery should be performed to remove the excessive gums. Gingival fibromatosis is mainly treated by surgical removal of the excessive gums. There is no specific drug to treat this disease.
