What SWOLLEN GUMS Are Telling You & What To Do About It!

Let's talk about the causes for red, swollen, inflamed gums and how to make them better!

Swollen gums are one of the first signs of gingivitis. If you don’t treat them, the condition can evolve into periodontal disease and tooth loss. Having a great oral hygiene plan is the best treatment and preventative strategy. But if your gums aren’t improving or you see heavy tartar buildup, be sure to schedule a cleaning with your dentist!

I have brushed and flossed my teeth for well over 45 years and also went to the dentist every 6 months for well over the past 30 years. This past August I had a full mouth x-ray done and low and behold I have periodontitis. They discovered that I have bone loss. No bleeding gums, no pain and no swelling, however, my gums have been receding for several years and not one dental professional cared to look into it further. It was only after the full mouth X-ray that they discovered I had bone loss. As a result, I now am brushing each time I brush, with 2 different toothbrushes and 2 different toothpastes, I still continue to floss and I am also using the interdental brushes every day and using a water flosser at night. It would have been nice if one of my dentists would have discovered that there was a problem when my gums started to recede.

I have gingivitis and after delaying it for years because of severe phobia, I'll be going this week! I'll probably faint, or cry, or both, but I just hope I'll be okay and that my dentist will be as sweet and careful as you😭

I figured out I would get a canker sore often but I realized it was linked to ibuprofen… so I stopped taking ibuprofen and started taking aleve naproxen.. after I switched over to that and stopped taking ibuprofen I never got a canker sore again.

Your videos are awesome! Really made my anxiety about going to the dentist go down. I made an appointment and I’m glad I did.

Night time clenching and teeth grinding can also take a huge toll on your gums. I'm speaking from experience.

Excellent video!! Since so many people claim to brush and floss every day and doing it so well but still have lots of gingivitis and worse the conclusion must be that it is indeed very difficult to have perfect hygiene. This person is a dental hygenist with a lot knowledge and I would like to ask how often it would be advicable to get a professional cleaning to have healthy teeth for life. The enemy is alive BACTERIA attacking your gum 24 hours per day -- I would say that it is necessary to have a cleaning each 30th day to be safe.

Ok, hang on, I’m off to floss my teeth

I’ve had bleeding and receding gums since I was 13 due to depression and post-trauma from my pediatric dentist :( At this point I’ve accepted the fact that I’ll end up with periodontitis

Thank you, I am the poster child for you, I did everything just as you stated, to the letter, for 7 yrs I had perfect reports from my dentist, after an infection, I went to another dentist, then the wheels came off, I lost 3 molars, I can get 1 implant, the others there are deep pockets, not infected but I can not get a bridge using those tooth. anyway, this dentist who did this to me, he is a hero for his actions, yes these things still go on, I wish that I was a lair, no every word is true, I reported him to the Dental Board of my state, I am sure that they will sugar coat it. anyway keep doing your best
