🔥 STOP SCROLLING! Your gums might be trying to tell you something! 😬👇
Ever noticed your gums looking unusually PUFFY, LARGE, or even covering parts of your teeth?! 🦷💥 That’s called GINGIVAL OVERGROWTH (aka Hyperplasia)!
Here’s what you NEED to know:
⚡ WHAT IS IT?
It’s an overgrowth of gum tissue that makes your gums look swollen, enlarged, or bunched up around your teeth.
⚡ WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
🦷 Plaque Buildup: Poor oral hygiene letting bacteria take over!
💊 Medications: Certain blood pressure meds, anti-seizure drugs, or immune suppressants!
🧬 Genetics or Hormones: Pregnancy, puberty, or underlying conditions!
⚡ WHY IS IT A BIG DEAL?
It’s not just cosmetic! It can create deep pockets where food & bacteria get trapped, making it super hard to clean and leading to serious gum disease or infection! 🚨
💡 THE GOOD NEWS? It’s treatable! From deep cleanings and medication adjustments to minor laser treatments, your dentist can help bring your smile back to normal! ✨
