What picture does gingivitis have?

Gingival bleeding often occurs when brushing teeth or biting hard objects. Some patients may feel local itching, swelling, discomfort and bad breath. The free gingiva and the gingival papilla were bright red or dark red. In severe patients, the scope of inflammation and hyperemia could spread to the attached gingiva;

The gingival tissue swelled, the gingival margin became thicker, the interdental papilla was round and blunt, no longer close to the tooth surface, the stippling disappeared, and the surface was bright; Gums become soft and fragile, lack of elasticity, and sometimes become hard and thick; The probing of gingival sulcus can reach more than 3 cm; Bleeding can be achieved by probing gingival sulcus lightly; The exudate in gingival sulcus increased.

Hypertrophic gingivitis: also known as proliferative gingivitis, mostly occurs in adolescents, mostly in the anterior gingival tissue edema, softening, showing hypertrophic chronic inflammation. Because of the local irritants such as calculus, tartar, food inlay, and the bad relationship between teeth, such as malocclusion, can cause chronic inflammation and hypertrophy.
