Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

As described by you orthodontic braces had created trauma to the soft tissue leading to gingival hyperplasia . It is further aggravated by poor oral hygiene .

This gingival excess is removed using flaps and gingivectomies . As you said the cutted gums is appearing whitish it means it had started healing .

Visit to an orthodontist as you are developing mouth sores on cheek ,it can be due to trauma from brackets .
Get it corrected , apply Dologel ointment over the affected area on the cheek .

Scaling and polishing should be carried out periodically .

Maintain a good oral hygiene .

Hope this helps out .

Regards..

Hello,
I am Dr.Neha Gupta (dentist) and am glad to address to your query here.

There is possibility of gingival hyperplasia in the posterior area could be because of any infection in the teeth or gum of the last molar , if it is wisdom teeth then it could be pericoronitis , or cheek bite because of sharp cusps can lead to this condition.
I would advice you to keep the area clean as any irritant or foodlodgment in the area may lead to swelling of gums . So see your dentist to know the exact cause of the discomfort caused by swollen gum.

Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at healthcaremagic through my profile directly.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query,
Impacted tooth is generally caused by more tooth- less bone ratio, where the the third molar does not have space to be erupted in the occlusion.
The most common cause of pain from impacted tooth is the inflammation in the soft tissue covering over the offending tooth(Pericoronitis), mostly caused by food impaction in the soft tissue space over the tooth and/or bite injury over the soft tissue covering the impacted tooth, by upper molar tooth.
As your third has remote possibility to be erupted in the mouth(as cover by bone and no space to be be erupted) the symptom like pain may frequently appear. The Third molar has no function for mastication(chewing) or maintaining occlusion.
In an experienced surgeons hand your impacted tooth can easily be extracted without causing much problem. You may have a mild pain and facial swelling for couple of days after extraction( as some amount of bone is to be removed) and you can also join to your work in couple of days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful
Regards

sometimes this is seen in vitamin c deficiency too.Also poor oral hygiene aggravates this situation.

This gingival excess is removed by gingivectomies and gingival surgeries.

your gums have started healing thus appearing whitish.

Visit to an orthodontist regarding mouth sores on cheek ,it can be due to trauma from brackets .

meanwhile you can apply Dologel ointment over the affected area on the cheek .

Scaling and polishing should be carried out periodically.it is must in patients wearing braces.
