Inflamed gums?
Vitamin C deficiency can cause inflamed gums. Since you have braces on, how do you floss? This is very important to keep your gums healthy.





Have you tried a water pick? If you don't have one, you can brush (very gently) with salt or baking soda. It is gross, but it does help. Make sure you are at least rinsing after meals, but try to brush if possible. A good mouthwash will help too.





I had to switch toothbrushes. Mine was too hard, and I was literally destroying my gums. Get a soft toothbrush. Let us know how you do in a week or so.
Reply:Yes, you need to be flossing. A water pic is good for braces. Also there are flosses made just for braces. You thread them thru the teeth under the brace. You get it at any drug store. Make sure you do not have anything else going on by checking with your dentist. As you should know with braces you should be having your teeth cleaned every 3-4 months.  Try gargling with Peroxol by Colgate it is just for that type of problem Good luck!
Reply:swollen and painful gums are warning signs that you are under attack gum disease. be wary that signs of gum disease often appears in the advanced state. the best course of action is to seek the help of a dentist. be able to keep and pay attention to a good program of oral habits. if gum disease is left without any treatment, tooth loss will eventually happen. water can keep bad bacteria at bay, so better keep the mouth hydrated by drinking adequate amount of water. visit http://www.oramd.co.uk for more gum care tips.
