【方歌】牙宣初起肿牙龈，日渐腐颓久露根，恶热恶凉当细别，
胃经客热风寒侵。
【注】此证牙龈宣肿，龈肉日渐腐颓，久则削缩，以致齿牙宣
露。总由胃经客热积久，外受邪风，寒凉相搏而成。有
喜凉饮而恶热者，系客热遇寒凉，凝滞于龈肉之间；有
喜热饮而恶凉者，系客热受邪风，稽留于龈肉之内。客
热遇寒者，牙龈出血，恶热口臭，宜服清胃汤；客热受
风者，牙龈恶凉，遇风痛甚，宜服独活散。外有龈牙腐
臭，齿根动摇者，属胃中虚火，而兼肾虚，齿乃肾之余
，宜服三因安肾丸。又有牙龈腐臭，时津白脓者，属胃
中湿，热宜服属角升麻汤，外俱用胡桐泪散擦之，以食
盐冲汤漱口。惟牙龈动摇，或兼疼痛者，日以李杲牢牙
散擦之，夜用固齿白玉膏贴之，缓缓取效。若龈肉腐烂
，露牙床骨者逆。

[Formula Song] At the onset of Ya Xuan (Gum Disease), the gums swell; gradually they rot and atrophy, eventually exposing the tooth roots. One must carefully distinguish whether the patient dislikes heat or cold, which corresponds to Guest Heat in the Stomach Meridian or invasion by Wind-Cold.
[Annotation] This condition presents with swollen gums, where the gingival tissue gradually rots and atrophies. Over time, it shrinks, leading to the exposure of tooth roots. It is generally caused by accumulated Guest Heat in the Stomach Meridian over a long period, combined with external invasion by pathogenic Wind. The Cold and Heat clash and bind together to form the disease. Some patients prefer cold drinks and dislike heat; this is because Guest Heat encounters cold substances, causing stagnation between the gum tissues. Others prefer hot drinks and dislike cold; this is because Guest Heat is affected by pathogenic Wind, lingering within the gum tissues. For those with Guest Heat encountering Cold, symptoms include bleeding gums, aversion to heat, and foul breath; Qingwei Tang (Stomach-Clearing Decoction) is suitable. For those with Guest Heat affected by Wind, the gums dislike cold sensations, and pain worsens upon exposure to wind; Duhuo San (Angelicae Pubescentis Powder) is suitable. If accompanied by rotting and foul odor of the gums and teeth, along with loose tooth roots, it belongs to Deficient Fire in the Stomach combined with Kidney Deficiency, as "teeth are the surplus of the Kidney"; Sanyin Anshen Wan (Three Causes Kidney-Stabilizing Pill) is suitable. In cases where the gums rot and smell foul, and white pus is occasionally discharged, it belongs to Damp-Heat in the Stomach; Jiao Shengma Tang (Horn and Cimicifugae Decoction) is suitable. Externally, Hutonglei San (Trogopterus Dung Powder) should be applied to the affected area, and rinsing with salt water is recommended. Specifically for loose gums or those accompanied by pain, Li Gao's Laoya San (Tooth-Firming Powder) should be used for rubbing during the day, and Guchi Baiyu Gao (Tooth-Solidifying White Jade Ointment) should be applied at night, taking effect slowly. If the gingival tissue rots completely, exposing the alveolar bone, the prognosis is unfavorable (Ni).
