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

October 21st, 2013
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?

Q.

Hi, i’m a healthy 22yr old female and I only ever brush my teeth once a day, i have a healthy diet, i don’t floss but i use mouth wash and so far the only problem I’ve had with my teeth (aside from braces in my early teens) is 1 filling when i was very young. but today without any see-able reason my gum started bleeding. it happened very suddenly when i was in work and there was no apparent reason for it. is this a symptom of gum disease?

How advanced is my gum disease and could mouthwash help?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

I have definitely got gum disease. the papilla either side of my upper right incisor has retraced and exposed two pin sized holes either side of my tooth which look a tiny margin bigger every time I floss. at this point how far has the (and I assume this is the case) periodontitis gone? I am booked in at my hygienist very soon where I will have it cleaned, but in a mean time and afterwards is there anything you can suggest? for example with mouthwash, will this make it worse (forcing acid through a small hole- wont that make the hole bigger) and if not which do I use? corsodyl is for gums and the Colgate ones for teeth isn’t it? I would appreciate any help you could give me. thank you.
