Soft red fleshy pockets in the gums do not usually go away on their own. Soft red fleshy pockets on the gums are usually periodontal abscesses, which require appropriate clinical treatment to eliminate them. Periodontal abscesses are usually caused by periodontitis or periapical inflammation. Although the abscesses may break down and temporarily subside on their own, they may recur because the inflammation is not completely cleared. If it is caused by periapical inflammation, it may manifest as biting pain and throbbing pain, once it appears, it indicates that the tooth has been found to be decayed and root canal treatment is needed. If it is caused by periodontitis, it is often accompanied by bad breath, red and swollen gums, easy to bleed and other manifestations, and requires periodontal system treatment such as scaling and oral anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor. If the abscess is large, treatment such as incision and drainage of the abscess and flap surgery is required if necessary. In addition, the presence of red soft meat pockets on the gums may also be a normal anatomical structure of the human body, such as the presence of incisor papillae on the inner side of the upper central incisors, which resemble soft meat pockets and are often mistaken for abnormalities. In short, once the patient finds out that there is an abnormality, he or she must go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment, and should not blindly treat it at home.
