Hi Dr Zurdo, I Think I’m Suffering From Gum Disease, Would You Recommend Any Home Remedies?

Q.
Hello Dr Zurdo, I think I’m suffering from gum disease, my gums are sore and starting to bleed. I have had this for a few months now but I didn’t think to much of it until recently. The gums on my top four front teeth have always been a little red but I have noticed this more so recently, also I find myself getting a lot of plaque on these teeth as well. I’m finding that my breath is also starting to smell because of this. I was wondering if there was a cure for this that I could try at home?

Hi, hello. Firstly I would recommend that you see a dentist as soon as possible, as you will not know the extent of damage that the gum disease has caused until you have an X-ray. If you are lucky and it’s only minor gum disease, your dentist will recommend a mouthwash which is suitable. In the meantime I would advise you to brush, floss and avoid starchy, sugary foods. Swilling with baking soda and salt can be affective also. Thank you for your enquiry. Best wishes, Dr Jose Zurdo.
