Hi. My gum is opened up little bit due to harsh gum massaging. Now sometimes food particles get stucked there and results in bad breath. Besides that, I do brush twice daily,do regular flossing and I take very good care of my teeth and gums. Because of that opened gum, I am facing bad breath. Please help me, using Sensodent- K toothpaste will help me to join that opened gum.(only at one lower last teeth in mouth). I would appreciate your help. Thanks
You must have developed a periodontal pocket in that area. It happens sometimes when the area is not cleaned or flossed properly and the food is lodged in some particular area. The bone resorption is there, and it is said that pocket is formed. You can take extra precautions in cleaning that area and if it's not responding than you have to visit your dentist who will do the deep cleaning of that area. To avoid food deposits around teeth, it is important that you maintain good oral hygiene. Brush and floss regularly and also use a mouth wash to remove plaque deposits
