Peeling Gum With Pain. Anything To Reduce Redness And Pain?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical history i suspect that you are suffering from gingival recession.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done.
Take an OPG radiograph to see the amount of bone loss.
Go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing and curettage.
Gingival flap surgeries can be performed.
Use desensitizing toothpaste along with soft bristle toothbrush.
Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Also, get your blood sugar level estimated to see you are diabetic or not.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps out.

Regards....

Hello there,

Thanks for your query.

Gums peeling back from teeth surface known as gingival recession.

Gingival recession is due to poor oral hygiene,tooth brush trauma,calculus deposition etc....

Once gums recessed it will not come back to normal position perfectly.

So would suggest you visit a dentist at the earliest and get the thorough examination done and get the scaling and polishing done to remove the deposits.

Maintain good oral hygiene,brush twice daily,use antiseptic mouth wash for 15 days and get a biannual dental check up done.

Hope this will be helpful.
Take care.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,
According to your clinical history i suspect you are suffering from gingivitis with apical migration or recession of the gums.

It is caused due poor oral hygiene ,improper brushing and flossing that leads to accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of the teeth.

Gingivitis presents with symptoms of redness , bleeding gums , swelling , pain ,recession and sensitivity.

It needs to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants ,this will help in resolving the symptoms followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics.

i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hi,
THANKS FOR ASKING QUERY,
According to your explanation it seems that your having gingival recession. It is a condition characterized by exposure of root of teeth caused by loss of gum tissue and retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the tooth.
It can occur due to many reasons like tooth brush trauma , gingivitis, periodontal inflamation, trauma,tooth crowding, eating disorders.
I suggest you to visit dentist to rule out the exact cause.
Get the scaling done , maintain oral hygiene , use softer toothbrush,prevent food retention,use antiseptic mouthwash, massage on gingiva with stolin gum paint twice a day.
In extreme cases gingival reconstruction surgeries are there.
hope this will help you.
