Hey, I was just inquiring about the skin inbetween my bottom front teeth. Recently the skin that separates each tooth has been peeling back, not all the way off, just a little bit. Its a little painful to brush in that area and often bleeds when I brush it. I was just wondering how I could treat it, to heal the skin back against the teeth. Its not very noticeable, I would just like to be able to brush without the hassle of this skin. If you could recommend some temporary things to help ease the redness or anything really to improve cleanliness, until you can let me know how to go about fixing this problem, that would be great.
Hi, THANKS FOR ASKING QUERY, According to your explanation it seems that you're having gingival recession. It is a condition characterized by exposure of root of teeth caused by loss of gum tissue and retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the tooth. It can occur due to many reasons like tooth brush trauma, gingivitis, periodontal inflammation, trauma, tooth crowding, eating disorders. I suggest you to visit dentist to rule out the exact cause. Get the scaling done, maintain oral hygiene, use softer toothbrush, prevent food retention, use antiseptic mouthwash, massage on gingival with stolen gum paint twice a day. In extreme cases gingival reconstruction surgeries are there. Hope this will help you.
