Helppp....?!


Question:

Helppp....?

I just got out of the hospital after 3 weeks and I brushed my teeth this morning and my gums started bleeding and now my gums hurt.What is wrong and how do I get it to stop??


Answers:

Use some really warm salt water rinses several times a day to ease the soreness. Continue to floss and brush (especially right after you eat) even though it may be a little uncomfortable. You probably didn't brush as well while in the hospital as you normally do at home and this has your tissue irritated from the bacteria. If the bleeding continues for more than a week, you may want to see your dentist. Hope I've been of some help and good luck!

Additional information: You may also want to swish a little peroxide which will help to kill off the bacteria. You can swish with it full strength or diluted, some patients brush with it. It will help you to get your tissue back to normal.
