Is gum disease causing my face to become inflamed and swell?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

Dr Dunn,

I have been suffering from what I think is severe gum disease. I have spoken with my dentist about the constant inflammation of the gums and pain to my right side of my face and was given amoxycillin. However I have been sufeering with this for years and the inflammation is getting worse causing slight disfiguration to the right side of my face where i have some missing and have a bridge in its place. Please could you advise on what I could do to remedy this situation once and for all as the pain is getting worse. Many thanks

Will antibiotics help stop my gums aching and bleeding?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi,

I have had aching gums for a while now and didn’t realise that it was anything abnormal.  I went to the dentist and he told me that It has meant that I have been pressing my teeth together which has probably made matters worse. I only realised when my dentist said that I need to start flossing. Is that going to cure things or do I need to take anti-biotics? I dont want to keep going on with bleeding and aching gums.

Thanks for your help
