As we all know, another name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Lack of vitamin C in the body may lead to scurvy, which causes swollen and bleeding gums. However, is bleeding gums caused by lack of vitamin C? First of all, gum bleeding is not a disease itself, but a symptom, and many physical diseases may cause this symptom. These diseases include local organ problems, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, systemic problems, such as coagulation disorders, or even both. Secondly, vitamin C deficiency must be under certain conditions to cause bleeding gums. In other words, scurvy is not common, only seen in the elderly who eat "bread and tea" and occasionally in babies who drink heated milk. Finally, epidemiological studies have confirmed that although adequate nutritional status is beneficial to periodontal health, nutritional supplementation has no promoting effect on periodontal health. Therefore, don’t ever think that “bleeding gums are caused by lack of vitamin C, and supplementing with vitamin C can save the health of gums”! |
