Hello doctor, For the past one month, I am facing a frontal tooth decay with receding gum. Sometimes, I have bleeding gums. Please help.
Hello. I went through your query. As an endodontist, I would like to assure you there is no major issue with your gums and teeth. Just minor caries in upper left lateral incisor and bit of inflamed gums due to deposition of tartar and improper brushing techniques. First, try to brush in a proper technique that is in soft vertical strokes (from gums to teeth edge) and not a forceful horizontal motion. Improving these habits will solve your issue 30%. Rest you need scaling to remove the already accumulated tartar and also the issue of bleeding gums. Betadine mouthwash gargle in lukewarm water two to three times a day. You have a very minor caries, please do not call it a decay. It will need a small restoration and you are good to do. Gingivitis (gum bleeding and recession). Caries in upper left lateral incisor. Gingivitis and Irreversible pulpitis. Improve the brushing technique. Get a scaling. Avoid sticky or sweet or cold food items until then. Let me know if any further query. Just post it and I will take care of it.
