Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

A couple of my adult teeth feel loose. My gums are sore and bleed randomly as well as when I brush. Do I have gum disease?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As you say about your gum condition and oral health, I think you have a gum infection. But do not worry. It is common and curable. You need a dental appointment as soon as possible. He or she will examine clinically and advice treatment (deep oral prophylaxis, gingival flap surgery). You can follow some instructions like brush twice a day, make sure all surface of teeth is covered properly. Use a soft brush and change it every two months. Use medicated mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine twice a day or you can use lukewarm water with a pinch of salt to rinse your mouth. And make sure to confirm an appointment with the dentist.

The Probable causes

Poor oral hygiene.

Investigations to be done

Clinical examination and dental X-ray.

Differential diagnosis

Gingivitis, periodontitis.

Probable diagnosis

Periodontitis.

Treatment plan

Oral prophylaxis.
