GINGIVITIS
S
Your immune system was created to fight off infection, and that starts with
fighting invasions of any foreign object. When plaque, bacteria and food invade the
gum line your immune system goes to work. It sends blood vessels to the site of the
invasion that hold antibodies and cells that fight infection. The build up of all these
extra blood vessels around your gums causes them to feel sore and appear red and
swollen, and bleed easily. Over time these antibodies can cause breakdown of the
gum and bones surrounding the teeth, which is called Periodontal Disease.
Treatment Options
Treatment for Gingivitis includes removal of the cause of the
reaction, the plaque, bacteria, and tarter around your gums, by your
dentist or hygienist. Once removed, it is recommended that you
keep your teeth and gums clean with daily dental hygiene such as
brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. It is also recommended
to use Vitamin C to promote healing of the gum tissue.
GINGIVITIS
S
El sistema inmunológico se creó para contrarrestar las infecciones, y comienza
luchando contra la invasión de algún objeto extraño. Cuando la placa, bacteria o
alimentos invaden la encía, el sistema inmunológico comienza a trabajar. Enviando
sangre a los vasos al lugar de la invasión para que sostenga anticuerpos y células
que combatan la infección. Se crean inflamación de vasos extras que aparecen
rojizos, hinchados, sangran fácilmente y molestan. Con el paso del tiempo estos
anticuerpos pueden provocar una descomposición de las encías y huesos alrededor
de los dientes. A lo que se le llaman Enfermedades periodontales.
Opciones de tratamiento
El tratamiento para la gingivitis incluye la remoción de la reacción
que lo causa, la placa, bacteria y sarro alrededor de las encías por
su doctor o higienista. Una vez que es removido, se recomienda
mantener limpios los dientes y encías con el aseo diario como el
cepillado, uso de hilo dental y enjuagues bucales. También se
recomienda el consumo de Vitamina C para la regeneración del
tejido de las encías.
