What to do for swollen and bleeding gums?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is called localized periodontitis, which occurs sometimes if there is food impaction between the two teeth or some prolonged infection due to plaque and calculus deposition. You should use warm saline gargle thrice a day for a week. Visit a dentist and ask him to clean your mouth fully to remove any plaque and calculus deposition, it will help in removing any infection and improve gingival swelling. Use an oral anesthetic gel to feel free from pain and heal faster.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You might require a small periodontal surgery at the particular site as the gums are severely infected at that particular point. you should get a periodontist's opinion and if he suggests doing flap surgery then do it. Use Betadine mouthwash two times daily. Take an X-ray of the tooth to check whether the pulp of the tooth is also involved. send me the X-ray if possible.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
