A meatball protruding from the teeth usually means a small meatball growing on the gums, which can be caused by gingivitis, gingival cysts, pulpitis, pericoronitis, gingival fibroma and other reasons.
1. Gingivitis: Inflammatory stimulation due to bacterial infection, plaque, etc., resulting in enlarged gums, tooth flesh protrudes and is firmer.
2. Gingival cysts: due to the embryonic period, the epithelium of the dental plate is left over, thus producing gingival cysts, resulting in localized protrusion of the flesh of the gums.
3. Pulpitis: Due to bacterial infection, immune response, etc., pulpitis is caused, resulting in pulp proliferation, which leads to the above symptoms.
4. Pericoronitis: Due to the underdevelopment of wisdom teeth, the gums and crowns are prone to bacterial infection, which causes swelling of the tissues around the wisdom teeth, leading to the appearance of meatballs on the teeth.
5. Gingival fibroma: caused by heredity and other reasons, resulting in gingival papillae, gingival margins protruding, and may even cover the surface of the teeth.
You should go to the hospital in time for symptomatic treatment.
