How do you get rid of swollen gums?!
Question: How do you get rid of swollen gums.?
I have swollen gums, according to my doctor it's from my braces. It's overlapping my teeth and my braces and it's making me bleed when i brush. My doctor said that if you brush on top of your gums it will go away and i have been doing that and i see no results. I brush once a day in the morning for about 2 minutes.? What should i do.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Start brushing at night as well. Twice a day is what you want to aim for, and brushing at the end of the day is even more important to get food and debris from the day off your teeth and gums. That's where bacteria grow. Flossing also would be ideal, but with braces that might be tricky. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist about something that you may be able to use in place of dental floss with your braces on - I think that would make a huge difference.

Start brushing twice a day and use mouthwash. You can't really floss with braces, but you can use one of those special brush things that goes in between.
also, try not to brush your gum's too hard. That is going to cause them to recede and then you'll have a bigger problem to deal with.Health Question & Answer

Try flossing, which isn't easy with braces. There could be food under your gums. I think they sell some thingamajig to help with flossing, like a threader.Health Question & Answer
