Come for regular X-rays,dental cleanings, checkup.rinse & floss right after eating.use only soft toothbrush ,& right brushing technique.if the dentist advises deep cleaning,or gum surgery,get it done.use the antibacterial oral rinse for gum infections prescribed by the dentist.if this is due to pregnancy,then it will go away after the pregnancy.keep coming for follow up visits for checkups,X-rays …don’t argue with hygienist ,they are doing X-rays every visit ,because they are needed for keeping watch over your gum /bone problems
Go to Dental Clinic &do cleaning for your teeth.
First you should see your dentist to determine why your gums are swollen. Gum disease is usually the cause, however, it may becaused by medication, a broken or dying tooth, or food particles trapped between the teeth. Treatment will depend on the cause.
Swollen gums can be due to many things. You need to see a dentist to find the cause.
Please don't try to do that on your own. Seek a professional provider in your area. This could be due to a Periodontal or Endodontic situation most likely. There could be other possibilities. Some are more serious than others. But do not ignore or prolong.
Swollen gums are serious and require attention from your dentist.
