how to get swollen gums down

I have a nodule on my gums. I had to get an antibacterial rinse from my dentist to keep it from getting infected. You might call your dentist and see if there is anything they recommend.

I dont' know if this can be true but I feel like my wisdom teeth on top is starting to grow more and it's pressing against that area. The white spot in the previous picture is where I feel my top tooth the most.

I'm not sure if the meds have anything to do with your swollen gums. I do know a deep cleaning can cause them. Swish around some warm salt water to get the swelling down. If it does'nt get better in a couple of days, get in to see your dentist again.

If you put it in the microwave just enough to warm it up then put it on the swollen gums it should get better.

I have an area of my gums, upper left side, right beside a crown, where it swelled up. It's been swelled up for about two weeks now. There's no pain in or around the crown or the swollen gums, little discomfort, just a little swollen area about the size of a small pea, that's covering about half of the tooth with the crown. As far as I know it wasn't brought on by eating hot food.

Sometimes when a tooth gets infected it will get swollen and get a bump above or below ( depending which tooth). If it drains, or if a tooth becomes hyper sensitive or you have a constant dull ache call your dentist right away. You may want to contact one anyway.

Pregnancy gingivitis is caused by the hormonal changes that increase the blood flow to the gum tissue and cause your gums to be more sensitive, irritable and swollen. The hormonal changes also hinder the body's normal response to the bacteria which causes periodontal infections. This makes it easier for plaque to build up on your teeth and makes you more susceptible to gingivitis.

So i went a few days ago and they told me to go get a Deep Cleaning on the bottom because its my bottom gums that keep swollen i have used mouth wash to get the swollen down they told me to use vinagar can someone tell me how to get gums to stop swelling or can someone explain to me what a Deep Cleaning is all i ever had was just a normal Cleaning.....

The only thing he ate today was soup and some frozen yogurt.

I was fine and then 2 days later I went on an 8 mile hike with my son carried on my shoulders the whole way up and down. I noticed the next morning my gums by a back moler where swollen and irritated. As time went on I became sick its day seven and I was told I have strep and a form of herpes thats not sexual we all have it and it may become inflamed if your under stress and you immune system is down.

I have swollen gums, partly because of pregnancy and the other part because my braces where still on, gladly they are off now but yes my gums are still swollen.

I personally feel that if you stop your immunosupressors, then you may be more likely to have other health issues and with the increase activity of your disease, may actually cause the gums to swell up more possibly. You may want to scale down the dosage possibly but that's for your physician to decide with you. If you feel your gums are swollen, you should go get a dental checkup and see whats the cause so you can address it.

Tightenings and pains before 37 weeks should be checked out. Is the pain/tightening regular or irregular? I'd get checked, just to be safe. You could be contracting and if you are you're at risk or premature labour and might need steroid injections to help strengthen your babies lungs.

My suggestion would be to buy a Sonicare electric toothbrush which you can use for the sides of the teeth, so that your gums don't get damaged. There's a built-in timer and you should try and stick to it as far as possible. Because this brush doesn't allow you to apply too much pressure, it would be better for your gums. For the occlusal (biting) surfaces, you could use a normal toothbrush; your urge to overdo it wouldn't matter as much there.

My gums are swollen, and when I brush I bleed so much I get scared and I have to stop. I'm really scare to visit the dentist because my friend told me he caught HIV with a visit to the Dentist. I don't know if it's possible or true, but because my gums are bleeding so bad, i'm afraid to get in contact with blood with someone else who has an STD such as HIV. I really need to see a dentist, because it keeps getting worse, I am nervous now because of too much bleeding.

Go now its only going to get worse. My gums are pink and healthy. I stopped bleeding in 2 days after the deep cleaning and some medicine in my gums. Good luck mama.

Hi, How are you? Gingivitis or inflammation of the gums is due to the long-term effects of plaque deposits. Injury to the gums from any cause, including overly vigorous brushing or flossing of the teeth, can also cause gingivitis. This presents with bleeding gums, bright red or red-purple appearance to gums, tenderness, mouth sores, and swollen gums. Have this checked by your dentist for proper evaluation. It is important that the inflammation is reduced. Take care and do keep us posted.

I am 15 weeks tomorrow and I have been waking up with swollen gums. My sister had it too when she was pregnant but not until after 20 weeks. I rinse my mouth out with salt water and brush them softly every day but they are just always swollen every morning!

Thank you ladies is just annoying that it hurts to eat.

It is not normal to have pain in your mouth. You should see your dentist and get some antibiotics to clear up the infection and have the teeth/tooth extracted.

Hi ladies...i am 24weeks1day...and i have been experiencing super swollen gums and bleeding! It is ridiculously annoying and I dnt know what to do. My insurance isnt effective until Sep.1st so i cant go to the dentist yet. I've been brushing and flossing and mouthwash 2 times a day everyday and it still doesnt help. I was wondering of anybody else is experiencing this and if there are any other remedies to use until I can go to the dentist?

My plan is to see if I can get a culture of the swollen gums the next time it reoccurs to get confirmation. The first time I stopped Valtrex the swollen gums reoccured within three days. The second time I stopped it reoccurred after about a week. The third time it reoccurred after about eleven days. Fortunately, this is the only sympton and it's pretty minor. It just hurts when I brush and floss but not much more than that.

my right upper gums are red and swollen for the past 1 month.i got this after brushing. 2 days back i got pain in my swollen gums and i got puss and bleeding from that portion. after that the gums are lightly swollen and there is no pain now. i did'nt visited the dentist. can i get infection in my gums? what to do as a first aid and when should i visit the dentist? i also got root canal treatment for the tooth above which i got this gum problem.is there any problem because of the tooth ?

Hey thanks Gellia, yea I guess so my 2nd molar is still yet to come out and x-rays have shown (i used to wear braces am on retainers now) that my wisdom teeth are all impacted so they have to be extracted at a later stage. Anyway, went to see the dentist and the dentist said it was a viral infection and gave me some antiseptic mouth wash said it would subside within a week or two. Thanks!

Its a thing that happens with pregnancy but also you're more likely to get gingivitis during pregnancy so to be safe I'd switch to toothpaste that protects your gums and a multi care mouthwash with fluoride in it

day 1 - 4 painful urination and spot (both seem to have cleared) day 3-5 swollen and tender glands, day 5 to 10 swollen and painful tonsils, day 8 - 10 sore and swollen gums, day 10 sensitive penis.

I did after I had my daughter, that's where they told me it was a "pregnancy gingivitis" every or most women get it. Our gums just swell along with everything else. It's just a pregnancy thing, you know?

The swelling went down and there is only a sore like white patch on the gums, is it still considered an abscess?
