During tooth replacement, your gums may become swollen.
This is because while new teeth are contained within the gums, the surface of the newly growing teeth (enamel) is not attached to the gums.
Therefore, when teeth are growing, a gap is formed between the teeth and gums, and dirt can get into the gap, making inflammation more likely. Once the teeth emerge from the gums, inflammation becomes less likely to occur and the swelling of the gums will subside.
Newly grown teeth are weak against acid and are prone to cavities. Also, during the period when new teeth are growing in, the mouth is in a complicated state with a mixture of baby teeth and permanent teeth, so stains tend to accumulate. Therefore, it is important to brush your teeth more carefully than usual.
In addition, Tokushinkai Group dental clinics provide tooth brushing guidance and regular checkups, so please feel free to consult us.
