Q.
Hi Dr Ian Dunn, I was wondering if you could help me, I have recently been having flu like syptoms and it seems overnight my gums have started bleeding quite alot and becoming inflamed after cleaning. They have not been bleeding prior to this for some reason i am linking it to this. I have looked into several websites inc Nhs direct and have been advised to use corsodyl which i started using yesterday. Will this be able to cure them and is this the correct procedure plus should i floss to get rid of all bacteria that has built up. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Hi, There is a chance that you general poor health is affecting your gum health. Oral hygiene is the key to gum health but you should get checked by a dentist and make sure you don’t have periodontitis, this is likely to need professional help to fix.Thanks for your question, good luck!
