Causes of gingivitis
Gingival pain is usually caused by gingivitis, which is the causative factor of the disease, and the lesion is limited to the gums.
Chinese medicine believes that the hand and foot Yangming meridians are in the lower teeth, the upper teeth, the large intestine, the stomach stagnation heat, or the wind evil attacked the meridians, stagnation in the Yangming and the fire, the fire evils through the inflammation and the teeth pain.

Gingival examination
Because the cause of gingivitis is clear, plaque is the causative factor of the disease, and the lesion is only confined to the gums. Therefore, removing the cause and eliminating the plaque can obtain obvious effects. In mild cases, it is usually used to remove tartar, control plaque, gingival redness, drug treatment or oral antibacterial drugs. In patients with gingival hyperplasia, gingivalplasty is required, that is, part of the gums are removed, and the physiological shape of the gums is restored. After the above treatment, after the inflammation of the gums is removed and the shape of the gums is restored, in order to maintain and consolidate the curative effect, it is necessary to insist on brushing the teeth carefully and reasonably every day to completely remove the plaque. If gingivitis is not treated, gingivitis continues to develop and can invade deep periodontal tissues and develop into periodontitis. Chronic simple gingivitis only invades the gum tissue and does not invade other periodontal tissues. This gingivitis is a chronic inflammation caused by plaque on the tooth surface near the gingival margin. The cause is clear, and it is more common in children and adolescents. The prevalence is around 70%-90%, usually before 4-5 years old. There is no gingivitis, most of them start from the age of 5, with the increase of age, the prevalence and severity of gradual increase, reaching a peak in puberty, after puberty, the prevalence of gingivitis slowly declines with age. The prevalence of gingivitis in adults is low.
