I had my last wisdom tooth removed a month back. Right now it's still healing .my question is a week back I had my gum swollen between my upper left canine and premolar. Now this night I brushed my tooth and all of a sudden it started bleeding from my lower gum between lower right canine and premolar. But stopped after a few seconds. I use the same brush like every other day but never experienced any thing like this. I bled a lot. Quite worried. Is it gingivitis? And what is the treatment? Can I start using listerine mouth wash.

You can use the same mouthwash two times a day for 15 days ... and kindly get your teeth checked for any tartar / deposit ...Â

It can be gingivitis/inflamed gums or may be tooth brush trauma. Visit again to the dentist for proper evaluation. Mouthwash you can use but it will not be that effective if you have gingivitis. It requires scaling and polishing to prevent and cure it. Â

Hello lybrate-user. Wisdom tooth extraction takes long time to heal. I think you discontinue warm saline rinses thats why it take long time to heal. If you have any doubt regarding that you can consult a doctor. Your second question is swellon gum between lower canine and premolar. Yes it is a localized gingivitis. U r not doing brushing twice daily. U can go for professional cleaning of that area.Â

Wisdom tooth extractions do not take that long to heal. Please start doing warm saline rinses 3-4 times daily for about 2 weeks. Consult a good dentist if problem does not resolve you can use Alcohol free mouthwash and floss daily. Â

May be it could be gingivitis. Also periodic checks and scaling is mandatory. Else the most simple to complicated problems always starts with bleeding. Get it examined by the dentist at the earliest. Â

Hello Lybrate user, yes you are right bleeding gums is the most common sign of ginigivitis. The usual protocol to treat gingivitis is ultrasonic scaling and polishing which is actually cleaning of teeth surface with an ultrasonic instrument followed by an antibacterial mouthwash. Instead of mouthwash I will suggest any mouthwash containing 2% cholhexidine. Hope this helps.Â
