How many vitamins should I take for swollen gums

Red and swollen gums are mostly caused by getting angry or gingivitis. The usual treatment plan for this kind of inflammation is to find a suitable diagnosis and treatment method first, and then treat it. However, you need to be careful during the treatment process and choose the correct method. Many people think that red and swollen gums can be cured quickly by taking a few antibiotics, but if you only take antibiotics, it is not enough to achieve the treatment effect, and you need to cooperate with some other treatment plans.

Disease treatment

Appropriate periodontal treatment (gingival abscess, periodontal abscess), root canal treatment (acute apical periodontitis) or tooth extraction (pericoronitis of wisdom teeth) is required after acute inflammation is controlled. The treatment options for periodontal abscess and gingival abscess are

1. Acute periodontal abscess

1. Treatment goal is to eliminate acute symptoms and signs as quickly as possible.

2. Treatment considerations

(1) Removal of plaque and calculus, debridement and drainage of periodontal pockets, or excision and drainage of abscesses

(2) Appropriate occlusal adjustment and antibiotic application may be considered.

(3) After the acute symptoms are controlled, a comprehensive periodontal assessment and systematic periodontal treatment should be performed.

(4) Before the abscess matures, it can be cleaned, the bag can be rinsed and medicated, and systemic medication can be used if necessary.

(ii) Gingival abscess

1. Remove relevant local irritants. Such as removing impacted food debris, eliminating overhangs in fillings, and removing foreign objects such as fish bones.

2. Eliminate acute inflammation and relieve pain. After removing local irritants, apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or 0.12% chlorhexidine solution for local flushing, and apply compound iodine solution to the gingival papilla.

3. Treatment is directed at the cause. After the acute inflammation of gingivitis is controlled, not only should the original gingivitis be treated, but the cause should also be completely eliminated, such as removing the pathogenic factors that cause impaction, modifying the edges of poor restorations, and treating interproximal caries.
