HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to inform you that Periodontitis is an inflammation of the periodontics, i.e., the tissues that support the teeth. You might have gone through scaling & root planing that involves removal of plaque & calculus resulting in empty space & loosening of teeth. Its quiet natural after scaling. Need not worry, just start with gum massage with some gum paint like Rexidine-M gel for 15 mins,2 times a day. Also start using 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash 10ml half an hour after brushing once daily. All this will definitely help you out. Still if your problem persist than talk to your dentist about periodontal flap surgery. Its also good option in severe cases. Also maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing & interdental flossing for cleaning that gap. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
