Why are my gums inflamed even though I take care of my mouth?
There may be a number of reasons. If you can, you need to consult a dentist. Regular professional cleanings are necessary, even with good dental hygiene. In the meantime, you may want to re-examine how you take care of your mouth. If you don't floss, you should.
Some other things that may help:
- Use an oral irrigator, such as a Waterpik.
- Invest in an electric toothbrush.
- Brush after every meal rather than just twice a day; at least, rinse your mouth out after a meal if brushing isn't possible.
- Avoid sugary foods and beverages.
- Use plaque removing mouthwash.
- Try a toothpaste with stannous fluoride.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
