Hello Dr,    Back about 10 yrs ago my gums were swelling and bleeding so I went to a dentist that seemed to be irritated and kind of in a hurry and she ripped my gums while cleaning pretty wide it hurt so bad and since then I am afraid of dentist and have not visited one since now my gums have never healed it doesnt cause discomfort but I know that something is not right since my gums in the front hang it is not closed and in the back its fine but I really dont want to go to the dentist because I am terrified so is there anything I can do at home ? it hangs and get full of food so I floss and brush my teeth 2 times a day but now it is kind of white on the inside so not sure what to do. Thank you for your help
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have swelling and bleeding gums don't worry bleeding from gums occurs when there is periodontal problem.  You should consult dentist and go for Scaling which will help you more.  At home, you can do is Warm saline gargle two - three times a day.  Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily.  Use soft bristles brush for brushing your tooth Use Gum paint on gums twice daily for one week Hope this will help you.
