I am 45 years old.  My gums bleed whenever i brush my teeth.  They are also receding of late.  The dentist i met is telling me that i have periodontis and requested me to get it cleaned.  I am afraid that further cleaning would leave gaps in my teeth.  Please suggest a easy home remedy and the brush and paste i need to use.  Can i use neem leaf powder to solve this problem at home itself for i am afraid of the pain at the time of deep cleaning of my teeth.
Hi there, thank you for posting your query on this forum. Bleeding gums after brushing teeth & gingival recession suggest periodontitis. Don't be afraid your Dentist has told you the right thing by telling you to go for cleaning, it won't leave gaps in your teeth either. If left untreated it may lead to lose teeth, more gingival recession making your teeth appear longer, bleeding gums & ultimately weak teeth.1. Stop using a hard bristle brush if you are using one & start using one with soft bristles.2. Brush your teeth twice a day for not more than 2 minutes3. Flossing daily will help remove stuck up food particles4. Use a good antiseptic mouthwashAlong with these measures you may use need leaf powder for cleaning teeth. Thanks &
