I had a mild cavity in april last week and no recovered but during recovery I developed a receding gums on one of from my lower front adjacent to canine tooth may be due to medrol & antibiotics administered during hospitalisation & post hospitalisation under doctor's guidance. Now I am taking no medicines and taking good diet. Do I need to take some medicine to cure it fast & what possible medicines/ diet can help to cure this.

Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. 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 meal. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser.

Hello Lybrate user. Antibiotics won't cause gingival recession. There are many reasons for gingival recession like dental caries, age, periodontal problem, calculus. I advice you to take an orthopantamogram and verify the condition of dental caries and follow up with restoration or root canal treatment. Then do scaling. The gingival recession will stop and further recession will be prevented. Consult me for further details. Thanks you.
