After a 'deep cleaning', my gums recede and are sensitive to cold, sweets...?

Hi,


Went to see a dentist regarding some pain and swelling I had from an upper silver crowned molar. He prescribed some antibiotics and suggested a deep cleaning because my gums were pretty swollen and bled very easily.


A week later, I adhere to my scheduled appointments and started the 'deep cleaning' process, then followed by the final half 5 days later.





This was about a month ago, so far, my gums are good and they don't bleed anymore while brushing, but as the weeks go by, I've noticed that some parts of the (front top and bottom) gums are receding a bit and are exposing the 'black triangle' effect between my teeth. This is a hindrance because every time when I eat ice cream or drink cold water I get hit with this excruciating nerve wrecking pain and then it calms down a few seconds later. Also, food gets lodged in there when I eat.





I floss+brush+Listerine every morning and before I go to bed. I sometimes do it after eating just to remove food.





Will my gums come back to normal?

No the gums will not come back up where they use to be,or you will have a perio pocket , that is what the Dr was working to illiminate. buy some Sensodine or other sensitive prevention tooth paste %26amp; use it a while %26amp; it should get better. Don't use it all time just a few weeks. DMD here

Reply:Yes. It should.





Deep Cleaning your teeth is a process in which plaque (bacteria and food mixture) and tartar are removed from both above and below your gums. The gum tissue becomes tight, pink, healthy, and no more bleeding or redness.





So while there are still pockets open between your teeth and gums, it will temporarily be sensitive to cold air or cold liquids and foods. It's normal for some of your gums to recede... but it's a lot better than leaving it untreated in which gum disease could develop. In due time, the gums will shrink and your teeth wont be as sensitive.
