gingival hyperplasia

Gingival hyperplasia is a condition characterized by the overgrowth or excessive enlargement of the gum tissue around the teeth. This can result from various causes, including medication side effects, inflammation, hormonal changes, or systemic diseases. The enlarged gums may appear swollen, red, and can sometimes interfere with oral hygiene, leading to discomfort or increased risk of periodontal issues. Understanding the underlying causes and effective treatment options is essential for maintaining healthy gums and overall oral health.
