Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I can understand the situation you are going through right now. But do you have any habits like smoking or drinking alcohol? Then, I suggest you follow a few instructions mentioned below.
- Use a soft bristle toothbrush and brush twice daily. If possible, replace your conventional toothbrush.
- Use toothpaste that contains Triclosan.
- Use mouthwash that contains 0.2 % chlorohexidine use this mouthwash two to three times daily for the next 15 days.
- Massage your gums gently each day. It results in great blood circulation inside the tissue that would eventually lead to healing.
I hope this has helped you.
Thank you.
