I have very sensitive teeth and one or two of my teeth are loose and bleeding sometimes.It is very difficult to chew some times. is it possible to revive my receeded gums? how to stop my teeth from bleeding , any medicine/remedy/procedure?
Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorYour history suggests that you have dual problem of plaque and gingival problem (gum problem). The loosening of teeth is due to gum problem. Receding of gums takes place due wrong brushing technique. The gums become inflamed and bleed easily. Minimal trauma causes injury to gums and bleeding. Plaque/ tartar deposition on the teeth causes staining of teeth and also damages the gums. First you have to improve your brushing technique-brushing strokes should be soft and not harsh. It should be up and down and not sideways. You can visit your dentist and see the demonstration of brushing. Secondily, the plaque/ tartar should be removed (scaling). Thirdly, the inflammation of the gums should be relieved. You should take saline gargles. Removal of plaque/ tartar and saline gargles will provide relief to gums. Consult your dentist for further treatment. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
