Gums Sore And Bleeding, Front Tooth Sore. Remedy?

My gums have been sore and bleedings when I brush them the past few days and for the past few months my front tooth will sort of feel a bit sore and I suppose it feel a little looser or something. It feels weird then I put direct pressure on it from the front but not the back. I don't know it actually feels loose or I am just thinking that.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having acute gingivitis or developing Pyorrhea.
Due to infection and infalmed gums, teeth become loose due to loosing support from gums.
Consult Dentist and rule out pyorrhea.
If gingivitis is there, with regular treatment with antibiotics you will be alright.
Ok and take care.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Bleeding gums are the signs of gingival inflammation known as gingivits.
It is caused due poor oral hygiene ,improper brushing and flossing that leads to accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of the teeth.
Gingivitis presents with symptoms of redness , bleeding gums , swelling , pain ,recession and sensitivity.
It needs to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants ,this will help in resolving the symptoms followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics.
i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline wateror antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Bleeding gums occurs due to inflammation of the gums known as gingivitis, this occurs due to poor oral hygiene, plague and calculus deposition, diabetes. If not treated in time can lead to periodontitis, gum recession, sensitivity.

I would suggest you to go for complete mouth scaling ,polishing and curettage.
Followed by a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft bristle toothbrush.
Get your blood sugar level diagnosed.


Hope this helps out,

Regards..
