Question:
What can I do besides brushing twice, flossing daily, and limiting sweets, coffee, and sodas to help my gums?
I do all these things, and my teeth are healthy. I use a sonicare toothbrush, glide flosh, biotine mouthwase -- all the top of the line stuff. Yet when I get a teeth cleaning my gums feel inflamed and often bleed. My dentist never has any suggestions (perhaps I need a new one). But nevertheless the problem is there.
Answers:
HELLO,
IF ONLY HAVING DENTAL CLEANINGS MAKES YOUR FEEL INFLAMMED AND BLEED OFTEN THEN THERE MAY BE SEVERALFACTORS AS A CAUSE.
#1THERE IS AN EXTERAL FACTOR INVOLVED WHICH CAUSES YOUR GUMS TO BLEED OR
#2 THE DENTIST IS TOO AGRESSIVE IN CLEANING YOUR TEETH.
FYI GLIDE FLOSS IS VERY THIN AND CAN EASILY CUT YOUR GUMS IF USED IMPROPERLY.
ABOUT THE DENTIST, GET A SECOND OPINION AND SEE IF THE SECOND ONE ALSO CAUSES BLEEDING OF THE GUMS
ALSO A DENTAL CLEANING IN AND OF ITSELF DOES NOT CAUSE YOUR GUMS TO BLEED UNLESS YOU'RE GETTING A SCALING OR DEEP CLEANING OF THE TEETH.
