1. Inflammatory reaction: The gums will be traumatized during tooth extraction, causing inflammatory reaction. Inflammation can cause local swelling and pain.
2. Tissue damage: During tooth extraction, the soft tissues and bones in the mouth may be damaged. This kind of injury can cause local swelling and pain.
3. Infection: After tooth extraction, poor oral hygiene or improper infection control may lead to infection. Infection will aggravate the symptoms of gum swelling and pain.
4. Tooth position: If the tooth position is deep or the direction is not good when tooth extraction, more force may be used when tooth extraction, resulting in greater gum damage and swelling and pain.
In order to relieve gum swelling and pain, the following measures can be taken:
1. Insist on oral hygiene: after tooth extraction, brush your teeth every day, use mouthwash and pay attention to food hygiene.
2. Cold compress: Ice packs or ice cubes can help relieve pain and swelling. Each cold compress should last about 15 minutes, several times a day.
3. Avoid irritating foods and drinks: Avoid hot drinks, hard foods, peppers and other foods and drinks, because these things may irritate the gums, leading to more serious swelling and pain.
4. Use painkillers: Local use of painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs in the mouth can alleviate pain and inflammation, but it should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
If the gum swelling and pain lasts for several days or there are severe pain, infection and other symptoms, you should consult a dentist or doctor as soon as possible so as to deal with it in time and avoid complications.
