Hello,
I have read your inquiry. My first recommendation is to continue diligent home dental hygiene. Increase attention to areas that bleed. Brushing, flossing and rinsing are all important. Include brushing your to tongue, Keep well hydrated. Follow proper nutrition with balanced vitamins. Make sure you have adequate vitamin B. Avoid your irritants such as
smoking. Avoid acidic foods and liquids.
Were you recommended any specific rinses? You could consider a
chlorhexidine gluconate rinse.
Do you have any medical conditions or take any medications that aggravate your oral health? Some medications cause a
dry mouth or can promote bleeding. Healing can be compromised and take a longer time for
gingivitis to resolve.
Do you have any allergies? If you are congested and breathing through your mouth, there can be irritation to your front teeth tissue and a thicker, more difficult
plaque to remove.
What is your recall schedule with your dentist? Did your dentist indicate that you required any additional professional cleanings such as a deep scale done with
anesthesia by quadrants? Did your dentist make any recommendations to you such as corrections to your bite? An
open bite will cause you to breathe through your mouth and often experience chronic irritation to tissue on your front teeth.
I suggest you contact your dentist and report your condition. Your dentist will advise you if you need to return for an appointment sooner and make further recommendations for your homecare.
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my recommendations are helpful to you and your gums will continue to feel better. I am available for any additional questions.
