Well, am undergoing braces..the gum became swollen ,so my doctor recommended a gum paint(ASTRIGUM) and whose ingredients are-- WWW.WWWW.WW I mean it has tannic acid that lowers the pH of the mouth and hence would deminerlization of tooth occur ( acid erosion of enamel) because some of the content gets on the surface of the teeth?? WWW.WWWW.WW (Tells about acid erosion of enamel) Actually, one of my tooth already suffers demineralization.(before gum paint) Can u suggest how to apply(massage or just apply it)?One has to wait 15 min before rinsing with water and another 15min for eating? What are the other methods to fully eliminate the swollen gum forever other than warm salt water rinse??
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gums could be because of the deposits leading to gum infection. Usually during orthodontic treatment the maintained of the praline is impaired because of the braces. Consult an oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and use mouth wash. You can use gum astringent after getting the teeth cleaned. You can take a cotton applicator and apply only on the gums, so that it will not affect the teeth. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
