Get scaling polishing done with by a dentist than brush twice daily especially at night massage gums.

To remove the leftover food particles, it is very necessary to use a mouthwash after every meal during the orthodontic treatment.

Bleeding during brushing may be due to weak gums. Gums may become weak due lack of vitamins, presence of tartar, infection present in the gums. Throat infection may arise due to infection acquired from the environment. Sometimes if you are having gastric problem like acid reflux, the acid may irritate the throat. Thismay also be felt like throat infection. Kindly consult your dentist for gum problem and he also may diagnose your throat problem and he may refer you to an ent doctor if needed.

Common causes of dry mouth r- Dehydration, anxiety, oral thrush, diabetes, salivary duct block, side effects of medications. Treatment is as per the cause. Get your blood sugar levels checked. Limit caffiene intake, use alcohol free mouthwash, rinse your mouth with luke warm saline water. Visit a dentist too.

FOR BLEEDING GUMS: We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning along with surgical curettage or gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meals. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. FOR YELLOW TEETH: Advise deep cleaning, polishing, whitening (bleaching) procedures, artificial enamel filling or capping. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Use Snowdent tooth paste for whitening until then. Apply SNOWDENT paste on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min .Then brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight for better results.

Bleeding from gums indicates infection. Bad smell comes due to tartar accumulation on teeth, get a cleaning done.

Hello Lybrate user, I can infer from your comment that you have wound probably a ulcer in your tongue, which causes pain and is present since one year. Any ulceration in our mouth (be it in cheek, lips or tongue) if not spontaneously healed within a month tested by biopsy. For pain you can get any topical anesthetic agent in any medicine shop. I would recommend you to find an oral pathologist (specialist for diagnosing and treating such cases) and give him a visit as soon as possible.

Hi lybrate-user. Such persistant swelling of the lips calls for a skin biopsy and histopathological examination. Kindly revert back to your Dermatologist. Nothing wrong in taking a second opinion from some other good Dermatologist in your locality.

Dear You hv already seen two doctors and they might hv given you some antibiotics and painkillers. But the main thing is you need to do treatment for the ailing tooth. Its either rct or extraction. If its not tooth related you need to go for higher investigations.

Sugary foods should be consumed in limited quantities as the bacteria in dental plaque changes them into acids.
