I did not expect that spicy food can get your gum swelling
Food state great! But sometimes this food can cause swelling on my gums. Spicy and acidic foods can aggravate swollen gums for several reasons:
-
Irritation: Spizy foods contain compounds like capsaicin that can irritate sensitive tissues. This irritation can worsen inflammation and discomfort in swollen gumes.
-
Acidity: Acidic foods (like citrus fruits or vinegar) can lower the pH in your mouth, leading to further irritation of already inflamed gum tissue. This can exacerbate swelling and discomfort.
