if there is an issue of bleeding gums,it is mainly because of infection in gums due to calcified deposits called tartar or calculus that form as layers stuck to the teeth and therefore infect the gums over a period of time.please visit your dentist and get her teeth cleaned .this is done by an ultrasonic tip that blasts out the tartar.its called scaling with subsequent polishing.scaling should be done once annually to prevent bleeding gums.if the bleeding is in the permanent fixed bridge region ,get it checked by your dentist ,so that he or she can check your hygiene in that region too.

use oral b super floss , use it under the teeth to clean regularly, and use stolin r gum paint thrice daily for three weeks on that area if thats not getting subsiding, treatment will be scaling and if needed laser cleaning of gums

maintain proper oral hygiene. brush twice a day, use a chlorhexidine mouthwash...if bleeding continues consult your dentist

bieeding gums r mainly because of inflamed gums caused by hard calcified structure called tartar.Get cleaning done(scaling) and by home maintainance by doing proper brushing two times in a day.Visit to dentist every six months for regular checkup

Maintaining good oral hygiene in fixed bridge is must and gum problems are frequently associated with bridges. get the teeth cleaned by scaling and polishing, brush twice daily and use gum astringent if required. Force distribution on bridge should be balanced or else it will also cause loosening of natural teeth which are used as support.

gum bleeding moslty occurs due to calculus or plaque deposited on natural or artifical tooth surface: treatment requires simply scaling, polishing or oral prophylaxis
sometime it may occur due to mobile tooth/ improper occlusion/ trauma from occlusion or becasue of aggrevating factors like diabetis/ change in hormonal level, improper brushing technique, improper design of artificial teeth. so that might have to look out after doing cleaning and polising
thanks

these is normal probs due to fixed teeth ,go for interdental flossing ,mouth gargling regularl;y

bleeding gum can be due to accumulation of plaque, calculus. or there can be increased food lodgement in the embrasures in bridge and poor gingival health. rinsing after each meal is very important. she can use chlorhexidine mouthwash to maintain gingival health.

It can be gum infection caused by food deposits.After getting any fixed prosthesis it is important to maintain good oral hygiene.Food deposits getting lodged under the false teeth or between is common. To avoid this proper inter dental cleaning is required. A equipment called waterpik can be handy.Try using it

I am a 32 years female with a severe tooth ache in my jaw which increases in the night. I know there seems to be a cavity in one of my tooth. What exactly needs to be done for me to get relief from my pain & what will the whole procedure be like ?? Thanks

  Doctor's Answer

Hello , The first and foremost thing that you need to do is to consult a good dentist, perhaps in the your near vicinity. You must have regular checkups every six months for prevention of such problems later on, this is an international protocol followed everywhere. Next, what I do get from your symptoms is that you have something’s known as a nerve exposure of a particular tooth (or sometimes set of teeth). The only treatment left to save teeth like these is Root Canal Treatment. Now i ...

I am a mother of a young child aged 5years who is having a discomfort in one of his teeth and also a noticeable swelling on his gum and a small amount of yellow discharge occasionally from it. He also seems to have a couple of tooth decays. What can be done at this tender age, and what can I expect from the dental treatment.

  Doctor's Answer

Hello there, firstly I would like to mention here is that there is no age limit in medical science as far as any of the treatments is concerned. Children like any grown adult need their teeth for the purpose of eating food, talking (speech), muscles support, esthetics & overall growth of the jaw. What I can understand from your query is that your child’s tooth infection has spreaded beyond the tooth structure and is having a periapical /periodontal abscess which has resulted in a swelling ...

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process.

A little over 3 weeks ago I went to the Dr for what he said was a really bad sinus infection. I was prescribed a 10 day course of antibiotics & I felt better. Well the last week Ive had a sore throat on the left side, an ear ache on the same side, a chesty cough I never got rid of and now bad breath. There are red streaks on the back of my throat which I assume are just from the stress of constantly coughing. I called the dr. & told him my symptoms and he seemed unalarmed and prescribed me another 10 day course of amoxicillian. My only concern is that its not a sinus infection because my sinuses aren't bothering me this time around - Im not even congested. Any ideas what it could be? Should I call the DR and make him actually see me or will the amox work? **Please no smart-alec comments about dental hygiene -- I brush 3 times a day & floss, so its not because i am not brushing**
