Trench Mouth treatment in Celaya

Trench mouth, medically known as acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, is an infection of the gums that appears suddenly and is characterized by intense pain and ulcers in the gum tissue. Its name comes from the era when it was common among soldiers in difficult hygiene conditions.

Common symptoms:

• Very sore, red, and bleeding gums
• Ulcers covered by a grayish layer
• Marked bad breath and, at times, fever

Contributing factors: poor oral hygiene, stress, smoking, and lowered defenses.

Who treats it? The dentist and the periodontics specialist assess the gums and guide care; the maxillofacial surgeon steps in in particular situations. If your gums hurt intensely and ulcers appear, seeing a dentist promptly helps control the condition.
