Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from a swollen, bleeding and receding gums. I tried Corsodyl mouthwash, but I want more advice. I am dreading going to the dentist. I really do not want to lose my tooth. The top bone area is currently exposed. I really need help, please.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Sore, swollen and receding gums with bleeding seem to be most probably due to an active gum infection that is causing a loss of attachment from the gum and underlying bone, making the teeth loose.
- This condition is called periodontitis. Using only a mouth wash will not help. You will need to consult a dentist and get a scaling and root planing procedure done.
- I suggest you get a panoramic X-ray and follow up with that.
