Presentation - a dental abscess presents with worsening pain (hours to days) which may radiate to the ipsilateral ear, jaw and neck. There may be a bad taste in the mouth, fever ± malaise and trismus (inability to open the mouth). [patient.info]
If any of the above symptoms are present, plus fever, sweats, chills, or face swelling, go to a hospital's emergency department. [emedicinehealth.com]
In a separate study presented at the same meeting, Italian researchers reported that tooth loss was associated with joint symptoms in a group of 366 first-degree relatives of people with RA, which put them at increased risk of RA themselves. [arthritis.org]

- Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums will go away on their own without treatment – FICTION Tina said: “If you have bleeding gums, or any other signs of gum disease including bad breath or swollen and receding gums, then they shouldn’t be ignored. [express.co.uk]
What Do Bleeding Gums Mean Bleeding gums are caused by inadequate plaque removal. Plaque contains germs which attack the healthy tissue around the teeth. [bleedinggums.com]
Bleeding gums are normally the very first sign for periodontitis. The gum turns dark red (instead of the pale pink in healthy condition). [dental-planet.eu]
It is common at this stage to experience bleeding gums when brushing your teeth. Other signs include red, inflamed, or puffy gums without bleeding, receding gums, and changes in your bite. [therabreath.com]
Back to top Symptoms Symptoms of gum disease include: Bad breath that won’t go away Red or swollen gums Tender or bleeding gums Painful chewing Loose teeth Sensitive teeth Receding gums or longer appearing teeth Back to top Diagnosis At a dental visit [nidcr.nih.gov]
- Halitosis
Few things are more off-putting in social relationships than bad breath (halitosis). It is fairly common for people suffering from bad breath to not even realize they have a problem. [therabreath.com]
Symptoms of periodontitis can include: bad breath (halitosis) an unpleasant taste in your mouth loose teeth that can make eating difficult gum abscesses (collections of pus that develop under your gums or teeth) Acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis [nhs.uk]
Symptoms and signs include: Severe deep pain – main symptom Spontaneous bleeding – usual Halitosis (bad breath) – usual Multiple sites of gum necrosis - usual Loss of alveolar bone – usual Pseudomembrane formation – very common Lymph gland enlargement [dermnetnz.org]
However, the following symptoms may not always indicate a serious problem: Swollen gums with a red tinge Bleeding gums Halitosis or bad breath Loose and sensitive teeth Gums recede, resulting in the teeth appearing longer Problems experienced while chewing [izunpharma.com]
Signs and symptoms of gingivitis might include: bright red or purple gums tender gums that may be painful to the touch bleeding from the gums when brushing or flossing halitosis, or bad breath inflammation, or swollen gums receding gums soft gums Diagnosis [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Gingival Hypertrophy
Some patients with Crohn disease have a cobblestone area of granulomatous gingival hypertrophy when intestinal flare-ups occur. [merckmanuals.com]
The drug-induced gingival overgrowth was previously termed as gingival hypertrophy or gingival hyperplasia by finding an increased number of fibroblasts in gingival connective tissue with histological analysis 176-177. [periobasics.com]

Prognosis
Diagnosis and treatment Diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis in its early stages will significantly enhance the prognosis for the dentition. [implantdentist.co.nz]
The worst prognosis was for those with the fewest teeth. [arthritis.org]
The prognosis is better if patients maintain regular oral hygiene and plaque control. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis - if left untreated, it can spread to involve all the gingiva and spread into the bone, forming intraosseous craters (necrotising ulcerative periodontitis). [patient.info]
The prognosis is best when treatment is obtained in early stages of gingivitis. At this stage, the affected person usually just needs a professional dental cleaning and more thorough brushing and flossing to reverse the disease. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
[…] patients on phenytoin, cyclosporine, and/or calcium antagonists develop gingival overgrowth, identifying patients at risk is important in order to take all the necessary measures to minimize the onset and severity of this condition. [17] Currently, the etiology [emedicine.medscape.com]
The etiology is uncertain, but many authorities believe it is caused by a bacterial complex in the presence of predisposing factors such as preexisting gingival disease, smoking, severe stress, radical changes in eating or sleeping patterns, or nutritional [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Three categories of plasma cell gingivitis have been proposed based on the etiology of the condition 136. [periobasics.com]
Migratory glossitis, also known as geographic tongue, is a condition of unknown etiology that affects 12% of the population. [1] It results in lesions on the tongue that are erythematous, non-indurate, atrophic and bordered by a slightly elevated, distinct [ijdr.in]
Epidemiology
International No incidence or prevalence epidemiologic data is available on gingival overgrowth worldwide. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology : A hematological disorder that results in excessive and disordered proliferation of neoplastic hematopoietic stem cells that infiltrate tissues and organs, one of which is the gingiva. [ebmconsult.com]
However, the status of oral health prior to onset of gingival overgrowth combined with the medication are both clearly involved in the onset of drug-induced gingival hyperplasia. [22, 23, 24] Pathophysiology Several studies have shown that the interaction [emedicine.medscape.com]
Their pathophysiology and management are different but, in the context of primary care, they can be treated as the same entity. [patient.info]
