THIS COULD BE SIMPLY NON-SURGICAL OR SURGICAL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE. TREATMENT FOR PERIODONTAL DISEASE INVOLVES WITH REMOVING THE CALCULUS (HARDENED TATAR DEPOSITS) FROM THE TEETH. MOST OFTEN THIS CAN BE DONE NON-SURGICALLY THROUGH SCALING THE TEETH WITH INSTRUMENTS.AT OTHER TIMES THESE DEPOSITS NEED TO BE REMOVED SURGICALLY BY CUTTING INTO THE GUMS.\nINSURANCE PAYS HALF FOR THIS TYPE OF PERIODONTAL CARE. IT FALLS UNDER BASIC COVERAGE OR 50-50.

Probably you are like me in that genetically you have thin gum tissue. \n\nThe best solution is to use only a sulcus toothbrush to clean the gumline and a regular soft toothbrush on the teeth only.\n\nYour cut gum tissue should heal gradually within a week. If you need help to control bleeding or soreness, I recommend having your dentist or peridontist prescribe Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate). If the tissue, does not heal as expected, see a periodontist. Peridontists are much more competent than dentists concerning the gums.

What the leading cause of tooth loss?  Periodontal disease.  What's the best way to prevent periodontal disease?  Brushing twice daily AND flossing once daily.  \nBrushing removes plaque off your teeth, but the brush cannot reach in between your teeth and under your gums like floss can.  Mouthwashes do not reach these ares either.  Plaque builds up in these areas and are in close contact with your gums.  Plaque is loaded with bacteria.  If the plaque is not removed it hardens into calculus (tartar).  Calculus has a great rough surface that is perfect for bacteria to attach and infect your gums.  Eventually the bacteria can migrate into your gums and into the supporting bones and tissue that hold your teeth in place.  Eventually the teeth become loose and fall out.  Periodontitis (when the supporting tissues are infected) and gingivitis (only the gums are infected) are preventable.  So how do you know if your gums are infected already?  If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, you already have gingivitis and are one step closer to dentures.  Just think, would you allow any other part of your body to be chronically infected?\n\nI know everyone hates flossing and it's such a hassle, but it is worth it in the long run.  Would you rather take a few minutes a day to floss and keep your teeth, or be toothless and have dentures?  Some people say they never floss and their teeth are fine, well they are the lucky ones.  Everybody's mouth is different.  If you absolutely will not floss, talk to your dentist or hygienist about other interdental cleaners.  If you don't have gaps in between any of your teeth though, floss will be the best thing.  There are all kinds of floss holders and things.  I've gone on long enough.  Just remember, healthy gums do not bleed.

If there is still a piece of tooth remaining in the socket where an extraction took place then you need to have it removed.  If the oral surgeon will not remove it, then find yourself a dentist that will.  Gum disease is a separate issue altogether and you should see a periodontist (a dentist who specializes in gum disease) for that.

1.  Clove Oil was recommended in the movie Marathon Man.\n2.  Gargling you mouth with warm water and salt is the dentist approved method.\n3.  Xytol is an ingredient in sugarless gums that helps to fight cavities.  Putting a "bandage" of this gum over a open hole in the tooth keeps out cold air, and other problems.  When I used this method I was able to eat hot soup and ice cream with no pain.\n4.  Typical over the counter medications like Aleve will help with the pain.\n5.  Ora Jell is used to treat teething babies.  If you inject Ora Jell into your cavity it will numb up the sensitive tissues.\n\nFrom personal experience Trident gum works the best for me.  I couldn't get an appointment for a while and I went for an entire week with gum bandages.  Of course you want to make sure the area is clean first so have her brush her teeth.  Most of the pain of a cavity comes from external influences, anything from incoming air to food can irritate it.

Bad breath can be caused by many things.  First choice would be tooth decay or some gum disease, which should be treated ASAP.  Also a good dental hygiene is necessary, but brushing your teeth 4 times a day would be simlply too much!!! and might even cause some gum problems and tooth enamel abrasion, so brushing twice a day, and flossing once a day should do it. Also, don't forget to brush Your tongue as well. If You have any gum bleeding during brushing (if the toothpaste You spit out is pink), then it's probably parodontitis (chronic gum inflammation), which should be treated by a doctor and could be helped by Your side with mothrinse Corsodyl, which contains chlorhexidine to treat the gum. \nBut there is another aspect.  If all of the above is not an issue, then perhaps there is some general health problem causing bad breath:  first would be some gastric problems (stress induced gastric wounds) or most likely Your toncils.  If toncils are not working correctly as a guardian of our immune system, then they might become covered with bacteria all year round, causing several throat inflammations every year and might give really bad breath, plus they even might cause serious heart damage in the long term.  If that's the case, they need to be removed. So, it's either Yor teeth, gum, stomack or toncils.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE CAN BE EASILY IDENTIFIED BY A DENTIST BY DOING PERIODONTAL PROBINGS.\nAN INTRUMENT IS USED TO MEASURE HOW DEEP THE PROBE GOES DOWN. HEALTHY MEASUREMENTS ARE UP TO 3mm OR LOWER. PERIODONTAL DISEASE OCCURS WHEN THE BONE IS DESTROYED (AKA "BONE LOSS").\nTHIS CONDITIONIS GENERALLY PAINLESS AND IN THE U.S.A. THE INCIDENCE OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS ABOUT 3/4 ADULTS. FOR MORE INFO.:\nPeriodontal Disease \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPeriodontal disease, or gum disease, is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Mainly caused by plaque bacteria, it is usually painless in the early stages. Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining gum health and timely diagnosis and treatment when needed.\n\nThe early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis. Advanced periodontal disease is a more serious condition with warning signs like: persistent bad taste, permanent teeth that are loose or separating; changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.\n\nThere are many forms and stages of periodontal disease. Most common are:\n\n  Gingivitis\nThe earliest stage of gum disease, often characterized by bleeding, tenderness, swelling and redness of the gums. A toothpaste or mouthrinse may be used to help reduce bleeding and inflammation for mild gingivitis. \n  Periodontitis\nA more advanced stage of gum disease involving bone and ligament surrounding the teeth. If left untreated, it can damage the bone and supporting tissues. Your gum separates from the tooth and the bone level deteriorates. \n  Advanced Periodontitis\nFurther progression of periodontitis with major loss of bone support. Your gums recede farther and separate. Pus may develop, bone loss continues and your teeth may loosen or fall out. \n  TREATMENTS\nYour dentist will examine you for periodontal disease during each routine checkup. A periodontal probe will be used to determine if there is any breakdown in the gum tissue attachment or if pockets have developed between your gums and teeth.\n\nTreatment will depend upon the type of periodontal disease and how far the condition has progressed. Treatment options include:\n\nScaling removes deposits above and below the gumline   \n  Root Planing smooths rough root surfaces so the gum can heal. Local anesthesia may be used. \nOral Irrigation directs liquid below the gumline to flush out toxins and germs to help restore the gums to health.   \n\nIf deep pockets are found and bone has been destroyed, your dentist may recommend periodontal surgery.\n\nA proper program of brushing, flossing and regular professional cleaning will help fight plaque accumulation and gum disease, and help you keep your teeth for a lifetime.

dentists should sell a special treatment for really bad breath,

Well depending on the severity of the holes you either need a simple filling or a root canal and a crown (they grind down most of your tooth and put a cap on it). Crowns are very expensive, but if your tooth decay is advanced you can't afford to wait as it negatively effect the rest of your health dental and otherwise. Heart disease is just one example.\n\nIf you don't have dental insurance, check into getting it cheaply or look into area dental schools which may provide service cheap as they teach their dental students. Many dentists will also work out a payment plan with you. And as bad is this sounds, if you are broke, shop for a dentist in the "poor" side of town since they are generally 50% cheaper then other dentists.

Good news no cavities.  The next step is to get those gums in shape.  Deep cleaning is called scaling and root planing.  I do at least three of these types of procedures a day.  When you come in for your appointment the first thing your doc or hyg. will do is go over medical history to make sure nothing has changed if all is well then you are good to go.  1. first they will place a topical gel to get your gums a little numb. 2. then they will give you several injections based on the area that they are cleaning that day. 3.once you are good and numb they will start the cleaning, above and below the gum line to remove the tarter that you have built up.  Many times they will use an ultra-sonic scaler called a cavitron, or piezo, this is an instrument that uses vibrations to remove the build-up, it also has a water lavage to keep the tip cool while they are cleaning you.  4. after the major cleaning, then they will go back with hand instruments to smooth the root surface and to make sure that all of the deposits are gone, as well as any bacteria.  5. They will then irrigate the area with an antibacterial rinse to flush out any remaining bacteria.  6. Last they will take measurements of your gums called periodontal probing to see exactly how deep your gum pockets are.  This procedure can be done by quadrants (up right, up left, low. right, low left) or the whole mouth it depends on your practitioner.  It is really not as bad as it sounds, the worse part that my patients say is the initial injections to get numb.  Once you are numb you will be fine. You may feel some slight vibrations on the teeth, but that is usually the extent.  Make sure you do your home care instructions every day as to not go through this again.

If you use a tongue cleaner, floss, eat mints, and mouthwash it should work.  If you are still having bad breath after doing all this, see a dentist.  As weird as it seems, it could be signs of a serious condition.

You have to go to a periodontist.  Depending on your insurance, you might need a referral from your primary dentist.  He'll take measurements, do a perio scale (deep cleaning), then do more measurements to see if the problem is fixed.  You'll work with him to see where you go from there.  Do it soon, the longer you wait, the worse it'll be.

Gums can recede for several reasons, including periodontal disease, physical trauma (brushing too hard, too often or with a hard brush), tooth position and aging. If gum recession is severe, some of the tooth's root will be exposed. This can make the tooth sensitive to hot or cold temperatures and more prone to root decay, or may create an appearance problem. Soft-tissue grafts are used to add more gum tissue to prevent further recession, cover the exposed root area, stop the sensitivity and improve the appearance of the tooth. Some people's gums are naturally very thin, which increases the likelihood they will recede. In these cases, a soft-tissue graft may be done to prevent problems in the future.\n\n \n  What It Involves  \n \n \n\nThere are three different types of soft-tissue grafts: free gingival grafts, connective-tissue grafts and pedicle grafts. \nIn a free gingival graft, a small strip of flesh is removed from the roof of the mouth. The tissue, called the "graft," is then stitched to the existing gum tissue in the area being treated. This is often used for people who naturally have minimal amounts of gum tissue around their teeth and need to have them enlarged.\n\nIn a connective-tissue graft, a flap is cut in the roof of the mouth, forming a "trap door." The tissue under the flap is removed. The flap is then stitched over the area. The tissue that was removed, known as subepithelial connective tissue, is then slipped under the gum tissue surrounding an exposed root surface and anchored in place with sutures. This is the most commonly used procedure for treating root exposure.\n\nIn a pedicle graft, a flap of tissue from around an adjacent tooth is partially cut away with one edge still attached. The flap, also called a pedicle, is then slid sideways to cover the exposed root, and is stitched in place. A pedicle graft can be more successful than a free gingival graft because at least some of the blood vessels that feed the grafted section remain in place. However, a pedicle graft can be done only if an adjacent tooth has enough gum tissue to "share" with the tooth being treated.\n\nWith all of these procedures, many periodontists will use periodontal packing to cover and protect the grafted tissue for the first week or two of healing.\n\n \n  Discomfort Factor  \n \n \n\nWith free grafts and connective-tissue grafts, you will have two wounds, near the tooth and on the roof of your mouth, where the graft tissue was removed. The wound on the palate is often described as feeling like a significant pizza burn. Prescription pain medication can help control discomfort after surgery.\n\n \n  Aftercare  \n \n \n\nKeeping the mouth clean is important, so unaffected teeth will have to be brushed and flossed as usual. Mouth rinses that contain chlorhexidine usually are prescribed to assist in plaque control during the healing period. Antibiotics may be prescribed, but usually are not.\n\n \n  Side Effects of Treatment  \n \n \n\nTypically, there are no long-term side effects after soft-tissue grafting. In some cases, the new gum tissue may need some reshaping using a procedure called gingivoplasty to make the gum look as natural as possible.

Yes, for sure...the dentist will check you for gingivitis..which u probaly have since your gums bleed, but you may also have periontal disease, which is worse than gingivitis...its from gingivitis not being treated, and can cause an infected mouth...but yea... after you get a deep clean, your gums should stop bleeding, and tshould turn light pink with no swelling.

There are some dentists nowadays that put their patients under anesthesia even for regular check ups and cleanings. You should look into it in your area, they work especially for people like yourself.
