Why does my gums feel tender and sensitive during my periods?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Please do not worry. I think this swelling is due to hormonal fluctuations, which results in an inflammatory response. It increases vasodilation (widening of the blood vessels) and results in swelling and vague pain.

I suggest you to take the following measures for relief-

1. You must do warm saline rinses every six hourly for five days.

2. You must use Chlorhexidine mouthwash twice a day dissolved in water for one week.

Please answer my question-

Does bleeding or application of pressure relieve your pain? Because in that case, there may be a need for topical antibiotics.

Regards.

Thank you.

Thank you for reverting to us. You will experience a marked improvement after completing periods, so there is no need for any antibiotics.

I suggest you to avoid using any gel, instead you can use a mouthwash.

I understand your concern.

It is the starting of gum recession and clinically it is classified as a Miller class 1 recession.

I suggest you to modify your tooth brushing technique and massage your gums daily.

There is no need for any surgery right now.

Mild sensitivity could be present.

I suggest you to brush your teeth using toothpaste for sensitive teeth twice daily for one month for immediate relief.
