Suggest Treatment For Sensitivity And Redness In Gums After Cocaine Use
is there any treatment for my gums and teeth from the grinding and dry mouth effects of cocaine use. i can feel my teeth are thinner and my bottom front teeth are very sensitive and my gums have been receeding and are very red. is there at home treatment to calm my worries before seeing my dentist as it is too late to make an appointment?
Hello i have gone through your query.first of all i wud strongly suggest you to stop illegal drugs and drug abuse as it is very unhealthy for your body. do you use to rub cocaine over gums? cocaine except taking it through nose users sometimes rub cocaine over their gums, causing ulceration of gums and the underlying bone. Cocaine mixed with saliva creates an extremely acidic solution which erodes tooth enamel and exposes the underlying dentine to decay and tooth sensitivity. Cocaine and crack cocaine cause dry mouth, which further increases the risk of tooth decay. Cocaine can cause tooth wear by tooth grinding (bruxism).
treatment wud include:
quiting the habit first full mouth Scaling (cleaning of teeth and gums) antiseptic mouthwash maintaining good oral hygiene. desensitizing tooth paste for sensitivity.
i wud suggest you to visit a dentist for the proper procedure and guideline
Hope this ans helps
Regards Dr. Shesh
