Suggest Treatment For Raw Spot On Gums And Oral Rinse

I just brushed my teeth and noticed I have a raw spot on my gum towards the back. I just had a cleaning a couple weeks ago and did that oral rinse to check for cancer and that was fine. Since then, my gums have been somewhat irratated. I was told I do have a bit of recession where this raw spot is. What can I use for a rinse or should I have this checked?

thanks forusing Health Care Magic.

read your query.

The gums can be in discomfort ,if there is recession and there can be increased sensitivity also associated with it.

I would advice you to get your teeth cleaned by the dentist and use a desensitizing toothpaste like Sensodyne for a few days. The recession can reduce ,if still persisting the dentist will provide you with the next plan of treatment for the recession.

Do salt water gargling.

For the raw spot apply a Dentogel two or three times a day.If it is still bothersome please consult your oral surgeon.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
