haibe:Root canal treatment is a conservative treatment that isn't fool proof, so she was trying her possible best to conserve d tooth nd prevent extraction which is d last resort. So wen next u come to the clinic, explain how u're feeling to her. U would need to take another radiograph, to see it d rct failed or not. If it failed, u might av to extract it. I understand ur fears, but don't worry, everything will be fine. It would be best if u come to the clinic as soon as possible and stop the antibiotics medications. Self medication isn't always the best. |

Daminister:Thank you for following. The tooth is probably carious I. E there is a hole in your tooth, its infected and that is what is causing u pain. If the pain comes after u've eaten, u would just have to do an amalgam filling, but if the pain comes on its own, u would have to do a root canal treatment. U could come over to LUTH to get treatment done, nd if u come over, call me on 08063730309. |

hbb2:well, the best type of toothpastes to use are those which contain fluoride and have low abrasive content. So any time u want to buy, just check d pack and see if it has these contents. Examples are Close Up, Oral B, MacCleans, Colgate. But most importantly it must contain Fluoride. 1 Like |

adigunomomama:u need to visit the dental clinic in ur school asap cos the consequences of u delaying dat is dat complications might arise. Uve been having recurrent episodes of pain cos from ur pics, I can see retained roots of grossly broken down teeth, which get infected from time to time, during which u feel d pain. U den take antibiotics, which fights d infection and relieves u of the pain, but doesn't resolve the underlying cause of it. I'm not giving you any medication cos u have to stop self medication and go to the dental clinic asap. |

Management of Bleeding Gums Good dental hygiene is the first step to managing bleeding gums. Visit your dentist twice yearly for a professional cleaning. Your dentist will let you know if you have gingivitis and teach you how to brush your teeth properly. Proper brushing and flossing can eliminate plaque from your gum line, reducing your risk of developing Periodontal disease. Your dentist may also instruct you to use an antiseptic mouthwash to minimize the plaque that forms in your mouth. A rinse of warm salt water can help soothe swollen gums that bleed easily. Use a soft toothbrush that is gentle on inflamed gums, especially if you experience bleeding after brushing your teeth. Medium and hard bristles may be too hard on your delicate gums. Schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to determine if dental health is not the underlying issue causing your bleeding gums. A complete physical examination and blood work can help to determine the cause of your bleeding. Treatment will vary according to your condition. |

Vitamin Deficiencies Deficiencies of vitamins C and K can also cause gums to bleed easily. Follow a diet that contains both of these nutrients to ensure that you are getting the vitamins you need to stay healthy. Foods rich in vitamin C include: citrus fruits and juices broccoli strawberries tomatoes potatoes bell peppers Foods rich in vitamin K include: spinach lettuce soybeans canola oil olive oil Other Causes of Bleeding Gums Pregnancy is a common cause of gum bleeding among women. The hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can cause the gums to become more sensitive. Bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia and leukemia, can also increase your chance of having bleeding gums. Your gums might also bleed more often if you take blood-thinning medications. Drugs in this class include warfarin, aspirin, and heparin. |

BLEEDING GUMS What Are Bleeding Gums? Bleeding gums are most often a sign of gum disease, but can also point to a number of other health problems. Occasional bleeding of the gums can be the result of brushing your teeth too vigorously or wearing dentures that do not fit correctly. Frequent episodes of gum bleeding, however, can indicate more serious conditions, such as: periodontitis (an advanced form of gum disease) leukemia (cancer of the blood) vitamin deficiency Dental Conditions That Can Cause Bleeding Gums Dental care issues are the primary cause of bleeding gums. Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis make your gums sensitive and more prone to bleeding. Most people develop gingivitis when plaque remains too long on the gum line. Plaque refers to the debris and bacteria that sticks to your teeth. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and can prevent you from developing dental caries , also called cavities. Plaque may stay on your gum line, however, if you do not brush and floss properly. The accumulation of plaque near your gums can cause gingivitis. Symptoms of gingivitis include: puffy gums soreness in the mouth and around the gums bleeding gums According to the American Dental Association (ADA), periodontal disease, or periodontitis, can occur when gingivitis continues to an advanced stage. Periodontal disease is the infection of the gums, jawbone, and supportive tissues that connect your teeth and gums ( ADA ,2012). Periodontitis can cause your teeth to become loose or fall out. Denture wearers may also experience bleeding of the gums from time to time. This is more likely when the dentures are too small or fit too tightly. If dentures or other oral appliances are causing your gums to bleed, consult your dentist or orthodontist. You may need to take new impressions to create a better-fitting mouthpiece. |

Malizzy:OK. I can't tell u d cause cos I haven't seen d sores . But from what uve said,I'm thinking it's of a viral original I. E primary herpetic infection. Discuss with ur doctor about dis. Since I'm not sure of d cause, I can't say d treatment. But u can give her oral fluids, analgesics like ibuprofen cos it's anti inflammatory, d sores should resolve. But if it doesn't, u can get acyclovir and apply topically, dis is an antiviral drug. |

optm:hydrogen peroxide is used majorly for tooth whitening, nd also in prevention of plaque accumulation and inflammation of gums. So if d pain she was feeling was from gingivitis as a result of plaque accumulation, it could av worked and relieved her of the pain . But for the efficacy of it on toothache caused by caries, I don't think so. Cos Dat pain is caused by the action of microbial activity on tooth structure. |
