ínyvonaltól

Ínyvonaltól is a Hungarian term that translates to "gum line" or "gingival margin" in English. It refers to the edge of the gum tissue that surrounds the base of a tooth. This crucial anatomical landmark plays a vital role in oral health, acting as a protective barrier against bacteria and other harmful substances from entering the underlying tissues.

The appearance of the ínyvonaltól can vary. In a healthy mouth, it is typically firm, pink, and well-adapted to the tooth surface. However, changes in the ínyvonaltól can indicate various dental issues. Receding gums, known as ínyvisszahúzódás in Hungarian, occur when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. This can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and a higher risk of decay. Conversely, swollen or inflamed gums, a sign of gingivitis or periodontitis, may appear red, puffy, and may even bleed easily.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for the health of the ínyvonaltól. Regular brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing helps to remove plaque and food debris that can accumulate at the gum line. Professional dental cleanings are also important for removing hardened plaque (calculus) that cannot be removed by brushing alone. Any concerns about the appearance or health of the ínyvonaltól should be discussed with a dental professional.
