Any dentists here? i need some help?!
Question: I have a bridge on the top of my mouth and I'm getting a new one on the 7th, my gums near my bridge are swollen and the deal with my dentist was that he would give me a whiter bridge if my gums were not as swollen. the gums that aren't near my bridge aren't swollen and I've been brushing the gums with my sonicare and it seems to be getting a bit better, and also i wash my mouth with hydrogen peroxide. is there any other way i can decrease the swelling. its puffy and red and the rest of the gums are a lighter pink.

It would be a good idea to rinse with peroxide, but mix it 1/2 with water first. Schedule an apt with your dentist on monday, this could have many causes, most likely your bridge is fitted incorrectly.
