Hey legends! I hope you liked the video and got something useful out of it 👍 If you can do me a small favour and like the video and write a comment, it helps out a lot with UA-cam's algorithm so more people can see the video 😁 Thanks - peace! 🙌
Thank you for this, not everyone can afford to go to the dentist. I'm in the UK and we used to have a good NHS but nowadays not many dentists are accepting NHS patients. The British are known for having bad teeth and they are poorly educated in this subject. I found out I had Stage 3 gum disease in January and it must've been progressing for years, but I wasn't told. Many people are not told by their dentists that they have gum disease, I don't know why, maybe because the dentist knows they cannot afford the treatments, or on the other hand they are waiting for it to progress so they can make more money. I am trying to find ways of treating it at home, particularly as I suffer from Agoraphobia !
I had severe gum disease and a deep pocket on one of my teeth, went to the dentist had a deep clean and trying to save that one tooth. Apart from brushing i also massage my gums once every day with turmeric. I don't know why it helps but believe me i have seen amazing results and have saved my tooth.
From Pennsylvania thank you so much for your video. I’ve been having swelling gums that gets more agitated with flossing for almost 2 weeks now. I’ve never had a cavity and I’ve always taking good care of my teeth, so this is weird. So your video is very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, Dr. Paul. It's the first video of yours that I've seen. My gums are in much worse condition after receiving Chemotherapy for a few months earlier this year (I stopped 1 month ago, in early may of this year). I was getting it from Mid-January-early May 2022. I was astounded to see on the Cancer Council website that some people might experience such gum aggravation/soreness that maybe they shouldn't even brush at all, using only mouthwashes. Well, my gums became so sore that I could barely even eat & had to have a lot of soups, even eating a soft banana hurt them. So, I thought that maybe I was one of those cases who shouldn't brush (it was incredibly counter intuitive to my thinking, but the soreness really was THAT bad). Brushing only added to the pain & I worried that my gums had become so soft that brushing might wear them away to a really bad degree. So, there were times when I didn't brush for 2 days, until I couldn't stand it anymore (I couldn't stand the dirtiness of them). Now that I've stopped Chemo, I am back to brushing every day but I see a massive gum recession on the front of my bottom teeth (the 2 front teeth). My God, the bleeding was horrendous a few nights ago but it's getting less & less with each day that passes, Thank God. But the recession is something that doesn't correct itself, as you know - not from brushing & flossing regularly. I stumbled across a video talking about a technique called "PinHole" technique which helps enormously to bring the gums back to being less recessed. Have you heard of this technique? I would really love to get it but there are only 2 dentists in Australia who do it. 1 is in Melbourne (my home city), the other is in Sydney. Do you know about it? If not, would you be interested in learning it? And... which city are you in? Thanks so much for your channel :)
Hi there! Sorry to hear about your situation! The pinhole technique is one of many that can replace lost gum due to recession - there are others that are as effective and have been around for longer (not to say one is better than the other). As a general dentist this isn't a field that I have learnt (yet). After assessing your teeth and gums, I would send you to a gum specialist.

Hi there sorry to hear about your situation but I am glad that you liked the video. I don't think that the driver for not telling patients is to make more money - most dentist don't like doing the procedures to fix gum disease tbh. I think the crux of the problem is that not enough dentist check thoroughly for gum disease and they don't have time to discuss the findings and the implications
If you have it, you really need to be going at least twice a year for a professional cleaning. You can't treat it at home, you can only help slow it down. The twice a year cleaning will help you stop it
Thank you Dr.Paul. for sharing this information.. I've been struggling with gum disease and bleeding gums for a while now..I will try to follow the 5 steps you said..
In addition to the steps mentioned, I suggest that you also switch to using a soft-bristled toothbrush. In addition to removing plaque, this can also help prevent gum recession as per kriss ai and my dentist. 😉
My problems only started after I had chest infection and x2 bouts of pleurisy in March this year. I was given a course of amoxicillin initially, then doxycycline for first bout of pleurisy and another course for 2nd lot of pleurisy. The chest issues lasted over 10 weeks. I bought OTC meds, washes, pastes. Chewing gum. While waiting for dental appt. My dentist did a check up and advised seeing hygienist. I had to wait another 3 months for that. My teeth were so sensitive she barely removed any tartar. I spoke to my doctor he could do nothing. I’m 66 terrified of losing teeth. Thanks for your advice. Best wishes from Devon Uk
If the problems are related to your gums then the only way to fix it properly is to have them cleaned. This can be something that is quite sensitive so to fix that you can always have your teeth cleaned using local anaesthetic so you don't feel any pain at all
Hi Cathy, did you have periodontal disease prior to visiting for 10 years? If someone was having their teeth cleaned *effectively and they were doing *effective (technique, duration, frequency) cleaning at home, I would say it is almost impossible to develop serious periodontal disease. If this was the case, I would be looking at seeing if there are any underlying medical concerns that could be contributing.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld I had gingivitis with receding gums and had lost a few back teeth when the 3 month treatment started to try and save the remaing top teeth after about 8 years of intense hygenist cleaning i developed peridonal disease on 3 of the remaining 6 top teeth
Hi Cathy, it sounds like you have made a great effort to slow the progression down! If you had already lost some teeth, I imagine the periodontal disease was quite bad, so to not have lost any other teeth is great. Were you ever seeing a periodontal specialist or just the hygienist?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld I lost my back teeth due to receding gums not peridonal disease. I was never referred to a specialist just the hygenist cleaning my teeth every 3 months for 10 years not sure why my gingivitis progressed to peridonal when I was receiving treatment evert 3 months. On one visit to the hygenist she pierced the gum on my front tooth i jumped out the seat it was very painful and my front tooth was always painful after this happened. About 12 months later I went for my routine clean and she called the dentist in for a second opinion and he said you have peridonal disease your teeth need to come out. Do you think she damaged the gum which aloud bacteria to enter the deep pocket? I was never given an x-ray or referred to peridonal specialist even after complaining about the pain in my front tooth.
Hi Cathy, the pain that you had on the front tooth wouldn't have affected bacteria being able to get in further into the pocket. In regards to the recession and how everything progressed into periodontal disease, it is very hard to comment over the internet. It sounds like you went to great effort to maintain your teeth, which I'm sure increased their life expectancy.
I had a filling in a molar and after 6months I had a pus that doesn't want to go after the doctor gave antibiotics. I don't won't to lose my tooth due to depression. Thanks for the video.
It sounds like the nerve in the tooth is dead so the tooth either needs to be removed or you have root canal therapy. The antibiotics won't remove the infection properly
💗I stopped smoking( ❄️ 🦃) but I see dry blood in the morning red swollen gums I haven't used listerine I don't want dry mouth issues like my elderly mom deals with I will try apple cider vinegar
The dry blood and the red swollen gums means that the gums are inflamed, due to the presence of plaque, calculus and bacteria. Do you have regular teeth cleanings at the dentist?
Dr. Paul, I have gingivitis. I brush my teeth twice a day. I start off with 1) A rinse with sodium bicarbonate/sodium chloride solution. 2. brush my with gentle strokes from the base of my gum line towards the tooth (upper and lower jaw). 3. rinse repeatedly with the sodium solution in step 1. Step 4. I rinse with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide with mint flavor from colgate. Do you think this should reverse my gum infection? Thank you.
Thank you brother . After this deep cleaning I had. Teeth haven’t been properly cleaned in 10 years Atleast wow lol never again. Taking this stuff more serious
Dr. Paul, wish you were my dentist! I have horrible dental anxiety. Amongst many things that have scarred me, had a scaling performed once and the EXTREME sensitivity in my upper incisors created so much pain and zaps down my spine, I jerked up out of the chair! I have chills even revisiting the thought. I know this sounds extreme, but it's led to me avoiding the dentist and now I have pretty advanced gum disease. I asked my previous dentist for nitrous or sedation for these procedures (even offered to pay cash if insurance wouldn't cover), I was always told no and feel my anxiety wasn't addressed very compassionately. The dental practice administered nitrous on a regular basis for peds patients (extractions), so I didn't see the issue with requesting it for myself. Please offer your advice or suggestions... how would you proceed with a patient such as myself?
Sorry to hear the situation! You definitely need a dental cleaning and we do have services for anxious patients like you: - happy gas - oral sedation (medications like valium) - and we can make your teeth numb with local anaesthetic If they say no to these, find someone else
Not always. In those cases it could be tooth decay (solution - fix tooth decay) or it could be from gut problems (solution - see a doctor about it). In cases that it does cause bad breath, you need a deep cleaning with a dentist and then good at me care
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld By The Way, Dr. Paul: I Can't See The Links To The Mouthwashes That You Spoke Of & Which Ones That Are In The USA...I Hope You Can Make A Video About Mouthwashes Someday!!! I Have No Doubt It Will Be Helpful!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for explaining about the mouthwash use for those of us with gum disease, and giving options available in Australia. Any recommendations for super sensitive teeth?
You're welcome. For sensitive teeth: try a sensitive toothpaste. Don't rinse after brushing, to help the paste be more effective. After the night time brush, smear some of the paste on the teeth most affected. If that doesn't work and you want it fixed, you may have to go to the dentist for them to seal it off.
There are many crooked dentists out there. They purposely crack your teeth to get more work. Beware people! My dentist cracked my tooth then extracted it. They ruin teeth without you knowing. Just like bad mechanics. Not saying this dentist is bad. He seems to be a nice guy. But... always be cautious!
Is chlorohexedine really any better than other antiseptic antibacterial mouthwashes like listerine for inflamed sore gums? If so, why? Also, can you brush after mouthwashing with chlorohexedune to prevent staining?
Yes, miles better. It targets the specific bacteria that cause gum disease. Listerine mouthwashes don't do anything, and I don't recommend them except if you want to feel like fresh breath. They say that they kill bacteria, but that isn't a good thing because the mouth is a complex environment with bacteria that you don't want to disturb (unless it is specific like chlorhexidine). You don't want to brush afterwards because it will reduce the effectiveness of the chlorhexidine (one - because toothpastes inhibit its action, two - you want it to stay around the gums after using). My advice is to get one that doesn't stain.
Thank you very much for your excellent video sir. Apart from the advice, what I liked about it was your sympathetic approach and voice. You were on the side of the patient which is not always the case with some dentists I feel. I have had a sore gum for many, many months, not helped by the coronavirus restrictions of course. The problem seems better or worse at times though probably it is not helped by my contant prodding to see if it still hurts! I have heard that hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes are preferable to ones containing chlorhexidine so I am a bit confused! Another one here in UK is called Corsodyl but again I have heard it should be used with caution. Meanwhile I am exercising to gain strength for my next ear bashing from my dentist! Blessings and peace
Hi George, thank you for the comments! Yes hydrogen peroxide does also work well. It has been shown to have good results with gum disease. I mostly recommend it for people with gum issues around wisdom teeth though. Maybe try it? The cordosyl that you mentioned has chlorhexidine, so it should work well, but try and find out if it will result in staining. Hopefully you can get to the dentist soon and they don't ear bash too much 😅
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thank you for taking time to reply sir. In fact, at my routine six monthly appointment, I saw a partner of my usual dentist who was undergoing minor surgery. She was a bit more gentle with the ears though she was a little less so with the drill she was using to do a filling! The tooth root/gum affected is towards the back so presumably it's in hiding! Anyway I will splash some Corsodyl on it until I discover the name of a hp type wash. Thank you again. You have made an old (ish!)man happier. Blessings and peace.
Hi George, try and use the Mouthrinse a few times a week. Also put some on your toothbrush in the area that is affected the most. I will also link you a toothbrushing video which you might find helpful. I've never liked the idea of giving my patients ear bashings, I don't think it's the most effective way to make them way for them to want to improve their situation 😅
Nice video.My gums gave been swelled and bleeding is coming.Dr suggested me multivitamins and parodium gel.acne is inside cheeks and on my tongue small red color acne and now bigger.
My hygienist sadly shortened my front teeth and made them thicker I’m so pissed As my front teeth were longer before he shortened them and cleaned my mouth and pushed a natural plus teeth whitening I have gingivitis he told me to buy oral b gum care toothpaste floss and peroxyl mouthwash Is that good ?
Sensitivity is related to the tooth being sensitive, not really the gum. Sometimes it is caused by recession of the gum. Sensitive toothpaste first, but if no success, then sometimes sealants can be done on the exposed surface Gum infection needs deep cleaning from a dentist then good at home care.
Dentist says I now have periodontal 😞. She said I’ll have to be taken this chloroxedin fluid twice a day for the next 6 weeks. The plaque and tartar was removed just two weeks ago.
Hi John, sorry to hear. It sounds like you'r ein good hands though. If you follow the steps in this video, it will help as well. Make sure to not have the chlorhexidine fluid within 1hr of brushing. Paul
My gingivitis is as bad as it looks almost as bad as a small cut but I have tried for four weeks to get rid of it and I tried the 45 degrees and it is still bleeding and it is getting better, but it is still tough to remove
When was the last time you had a clean at the dentist? If you don't do that, the build-up of calculus will never allow you to get rid of the gingivitis. Once you've had the cleaning done, it's a matter of keeping it clean with the tips in this video.
Thank you for video and I have removed 4 bottom tooth’s due to periodontal disease and my question is can I get dental implant With this disease? I am really worry about my other tooth’s
It's not the best idea to get implants unless the periodontal disease is completely under control, because an implant can get periodontal disease, often easier than a tooth can.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld thank you very much doctor and how long it will take under control my Dentist gave me mouth wash and now I am using it. I am really scary to loosing more tooth’s
Normally we clean the teeth thoroughly, and then re assess it at 2-3 months. Often it requires 3 monthly cleaning to improve. How long it takes depends on how bad it is to start with, and how good you are at home cleaning
I'm not sure of a best mouth rinse in the UK. Any that have fluoride will do the job. For gum disease, any that have chlorhexidine work. For wisdom teeth pain, any that have hydrogen peroxide will work
Hi there, I just googled "chlorhexidine Mouthrinse Canada" and it seems that this one is available www.cda-adc.ca/EN/oral_health/seal/products/product_page.asp?product=82
have petiodontal disesse(I don't have moving teeth or loose teeth).l'm after deep cleaning and surgery with prf.Now ewrything seems ok. Can I stop the progress? or only what i can do it, is slowing down? I do all 5 step . The pocket depht after surgery is 2-3-4 mm( 6 month control)My periodontolog said I can stop it.I confused now 😢
Hi there! If you have 2-4mm pockets 6mo after that is great. Healthy is 3mm or less so 4mm is not that bad. The periodontist likely wouldn't have said you can't stop it, but they would have said that once you have gum disease it will be there forever. Because once you have lost the bone, the bone will not grow back. The definition of gum disease is a pocket of 4 mm or more. That does not mean you cannot stop it's progression, which is what your goal is now. You want to make sure that the pocket does not get any deeper and that is via the steps I have mentioned in this video. Does that make sense?
Thank you for the answer! I will do everithyng for the best result.🙂. Can we ( petiodontal disease patient) consum vitamins, supliments for a helthier gum and teth?What kind of vitamins can we choose? I'd cut all the grain and sugar from my diet after i was diagnosticated with periodontal disease. What are you thinking about keto or paleo diet in periodisease?( Sorry for my english I don't really speak the language 😅, but i undertand almost everything) Have a nice day!
To be honest there isn't hugely strong evidence about diet and gum disease, so there aren't specific vitamins etc to have. The most important thing is removing the plaque and the biofilm (using these tips)
Dr. Paul dental world, am from UK, my gums count is 3mm and I got aggressive gingivitis am told and swallow my roof of my mouth, just had deep scaling and I had tablets bring it down, based on the gum count would this be reversible at this stage? Always told keep you're teeth clean but never about gums until year ago, Amy info be great thank you from UK
If it is 3mm, then that is just inflamed gums (gingivitis) and not gum disease. This means that after your deep scaling, if you can maintain things with good brushing and flossing at home, and regular cleaning at the dentist, then you won't get any worse 👌
@Dr Paul's Dental World can it be completely cured or just stop at this point? Is conconut oil pulling good for this? I been told it is, am using mouthwash morning and night and getting cleanings every 3 months, also been told to floss and make my gums bleed every night before bed to draw the bugga out, anymore info would be great
- Completely cured, yes. You just have gingivitis. If you have gum disease (where you have pockets more than 3mm), then this is technically non curable and can only be stopped. Not too much of a concern unless the pockets are 6mm or more though - Coconut oil pulling can help gingivitis, but needs to be done once a day for about 20mins - Mouthrinse isn't actually effective. Just make sure you are flossing first, then brushing correctly afterwards, and cleans every 4-6 months - Don't make the gums bleed. If they are bleeding it means that you have gingivitis (gum inflammation) or you are flossing too hard which is bad for your gums in the long-term
Good Morning Sir. Sir i am Arman from India. Sir I wanted to know that which Mouth wash is better for oral hygenic Alcohol based or without Alcohol based mouth wash.
It depends what it is for. If it contains chlorhexidine, make sure it is not within 1hr of brushing. If it is just for fresh breath, any time. If it is for fluoride, then you should use it during the day sometime.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld thanks doc😅, cause i already 6 years didn't go clinic deep clean, now i have gingivitis and of course i beg my dad this friday i need to go already, even its still have covid outside, and im just 16 yr old but i want to save my gums, and i scared the dentist dont know how to treat my gingivitis, its is safe to go now?? I really Hope no covid in the clinic i go😅
I don't know whether you are going to reply me or not..but sir I'm facing bleeding gums issue my lower side jaws 😢 is this sign of any serious condition?? If possible please reply me and provide solution for this .. thank you sir
Hey Dylan, thanks for reaching out. Braces are difficult because plaque collects on the teeth really easily. If the gums are swollen, sounds like you'd really benefit from a thorough clean from your dentist, and then meticulous home care. I would also recommend getting yourself some curasept mouthwash as it kills the bacteria associated with him problems. Let me know if you d save any other questions.
Ok fair enough. Just make sure you're brushing three times a day, and use some curasept in the afternoon (not within an hour of brushing). Pour some on your brush and brush it around the gum that is most swollen.
Good day sir... May I know how to get rid of these gum problem using natural material that could be found inside at home....hope you notice😉❤️ thanks for the video....
Hi there! Check out this link: www.healthline.com/health/wisdom-teeth-pain-relief Also, make sure that you clean the area really well with a tooth brush. Hydrogen peroxide is a great mouthwash to get, if you want to.
Thank you so much Sir😊 hope you'll do lots of videos about our teeth care... I've learned a lot from your video and I'm your new subscriber ❤️ God bless you and more health and videos to come....
I suspect there is a far better method of prevention and cure. The answer is dental probiotics. You have to be careful though because not all companies that sell dental probiotics use the right strains of bacteria in their formulations.
Yes that would help, but if you provide a food source for the bacteria in your mouth (plaque), then the problem will still there. Without plaque, there will never be a problem with the gums, it's as simple as that.
Hi there. Yes, redness around the teeth is a good indicator of gum disease, because your gums are inflamed. It may be the early stages, but it may also be more advanced stages as well. Best thing would be to have the teeth professionally cleaned to remove the hard build up (calculus), and then really good cleaning if the teeth/gums at home.
Hello doctor, I have periodontal disease, I did root canal treatment and minor gum surgery but my gum is still swollen around one tooth though its painless is it something to be worried of.
Hi Joyce, if it is swollen, that is not a good thing so I would suggest getting this checked out if it doesn't go now. It could be an infection, and the infection won't go away by itself.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld if a person has Candida Albicans, you can clean a number of times but you're still going to have problems, people need to recognize that.
Hello.Very helpful video.I also wanted to to know if we gargle NaCl water, whether it works or not.how do we make gums stronger?i mean which nutrient supplement?
Hii doc.. few days ago i just done my scaling as i am suffering from gingiva my doc suggested me to use chlorhexidine but after after using for few days my white teeth are getting brownish and having black lines....what to do to get rid of it ???? And using sensoform paste for long time is good or bad ??
Hi there, you shouldn't use every day with the chlorhexidine. Normally the teeth start to stain after two weeks, not a few days. How often are you using it through the day? Normally use it for a week, then don't use for a week. That toothpaste should be fine, especially if it has fluoride in it.
I just tried to search about why my gum was peeling off. One of my tooth's gum at front was peeling off. It started about a week ago. It may seem like it's a Mild Periodontitis. I remembered my dentist diagnosed me with Gingivitis. But I neglected her warnings. And now, it came to this. I am currently planning to visit a dentist about my condition. Is there hope for me? Can this be cured or is this a life time?
There is definitely help. If you have periodontitis, you have bone loss. The bone won't come back, but your goal is to get re attachment of the gum on to the tooth and to keep it healthy and strong. This happens with the tips I give in this video
My gums are pink and healthy I brush twice a day and I am using corsodyl mouthwash once a day. Earlier this year I injured one single tooth one by biting into a lamb bone whilst eating since then its acting weird! One of my front two teeth is clicking when i push with my tongue, I dont think I have gum disease because they are not painful or sore or bleeding, will this tooth fall out eventually or am I just overthinking it, when I attempt to move the tooth it moves 1mm out of place but I think its just clicking from a local shock to the root canal. Please can someone reassure me I wont lose this tooth I dont want a dental replacement. I am too young to be losing teeth. The rest are healthy and fine! 😢😢😢😢😢
It doesn't sound good, that one of the teeth are moving. It either means it is a localised problem (from the lamb bone?) or a sign of a generalised problem (possibly gum disease). The best thing I can suggest is to have a dentist look at it. I'm sure you'd be able to find somewhere that could see you in the next month or so. A bite adjustment is if you have one tooth that is hitting against the other teeth too heavily, it can make that tooth sore or wobbly, so a bite adjustment is done to reduce that pressure
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld But i dont wanna lose tooth. My cousin had the same issue and his tooth was wobbly for 1 year never fell out. Is there a luxation technique dentists can do caa they push it back into the gum and save it i just need reassurance. Im worried mum said dont worry people are just scaremongering you and that it wont fall out
But I have one question,,if you can answer personal msg or even In group,,I think 50 %people have same doubt,,most people thinks that after cleaning the teeths from professional,,the teeths grips get loosen from roots,,,, Is it??
Hi there. This is simply not the case. When we clean teeth we are removing the plaque and calculus on the teeth, we are not altering the attachment of the tooth to the bone. The only time that a tooth might feel more loose is if someone has very bad gum disease, and their teeth are already loose. If they have lots of calculus collecting around the teeth, this can stabilise the teeth slightly. When the calculus is removed, the tooth will then feel more loose, but it is because the person has gum disease. Does that make sense?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Unfortunately at this stage of gum disease, so how can I tighten the gums as a diabetic with rheumatoid arthritis. Scaling and root planing scheduled next month 😕
Hi doc I already have bone loss my teeth receeds and teetht yellow ang my teeth moves..does it mean I need to pull all my teeth can bone loss recover or back to normal? My dentist won't allow to pull all my teeth bymut I feel sick on my teeth
Impossible to give you a diagnosis and treatment plan over a UA-cam comment, but moving teeth isn't good long term. If they say not to remove them, then maybe you shouldn't. The replacement options are either cheap and not that good (removable denture) or very good looking, comfortable but expensive (all on 4) Bone loss won't recover, but with good at home care and frequent visits hopefully you can improve the gum and bone attachment and they will move less. If they are yellow, you can do teeth whitening?
I wish I can sent pics of my teeth for I to see even though u not in chicago. However, if I try gently brushing the canal and gums off softly when I'm at home or in my dorm, and floss twice after brushing teeth, that won't help?
You should do that anyway, yes. I'm not sure what you're problem is though, so not sure if it will help your situation. You may require dental treatment to help
Depends on the severity. Mild gum disease (pockets up to 5mm) can practically be healed (pockets up to 3mm) but more than that, it is just about improving the pockets and then controlling it
I dont have a dentist but just got an emergency appointment this morning. The dentist said I have an gum infection and the gums are starting to recede.I was given antibiotics. Will they stop it? Also is an infection the same as gum disease? I am so upset I am now flossing and using various otc treatments. Is there a chance I can reverse this? They only started bleeding 2 weeks ago.
Hi there, to be honest it's hard to say based on your description. Antibiotics can help for the time being if there is a gun infection. It won't really stop him disease. Gun disease is different to infection. Receding guns is, however, a sign of gum disease. So maybe there is gum disease and infection?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Ah thanks for your reply I am beside myself with worry. I thought gum infection was gum disease. She said I had the start of receding in one tooth. If it is gum disease can it be reversed with extreme otc remedies and excellent hygiene? I really appreciate your help I have been crying all day.
Hi there. Gum disease can't be reversed but it can be stopped. Receding gums are also unlikely to be able to be reversed. Did she mention pocket depths? It might have been some numbers she would've said to her nurse. If yes, the idea is that we reduce the pocket depth
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld She just looked and said you have a gum infection I will give you some antibiotics for 3 days . She didn't mention pocket depth or measure anything could a gum infection be stopped ? she isn`t going to see me again for a follow-up. don't have a dentist and can't get one in the UK. Thanks again for all your help.
i’ve noticed that after i got a cavity out, my gums have been red and bleeding but it stopped as time passed by. i have a cracked tooth and i need to get it fixed but it builds up brown stuff in my tooth and every time i brush my teeth i rinse my mouth out with a lot of water to get it out. but ever since that doctor appointment my gums have gotten whiter and red at the very top. i don’t know what i have. i think i have gingivitis but i don’t know if it’s something more serious.
Hi Jasmine, if you're unsure if it is something serious, it might be best to see a dentist about it. Based on your description I was a little confused tbh with what your situation is right now.
It depends how much they have receded. I have had patients concerned about the gums receding a lot and compared to what I have seen, they hadn't receded that much. Recession does also mean bone loss, but if it is stabilised and maintained, and the cause of the problem removed, then it won't get worse. You need to look out for pocketing. If there is deep pocketing around the teeth, then it becomes very hard to clean down inside the pocket, and then you will get further bone loss. If this is the case, then more regular cleanings at the dentist or specialist is required.
😢 we don't realize how impactful this shit is.. I am vivid on why this has been happening for so fkn long... Somewhere along the WAY I PROMISE.. MY MOTHER WASN'T THE CAUSE.. IT WAS THE TRAUMatic experience that I once experienced.. out of NOWHERE.. MAYBE CUZ THE dentist shut down..Unexpectedly... The Facility!!! Idk
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld No I have gum loss cause my frenulum is high and my doc recommend frencetomy so after that will my gums get back to the original position? or maybe the pockets will improve?
Hi sir...can a dentist say that it is periodontitis just by looking at the gums without an x ray and prob...my dentist said that you have perodontitis because my gums were bleeding but i am comfused coz i think it is gingivitis coz i hadnt any symptom before i had bleeding just for 2 3 weeks he did scaling and polishing and gave me antibiotics now my gums and teeth are alright no blood but i am so much worried coz i have heard that this problm can cause heart problems as well
If he cleaned your teeth it means he would be able to assess the pocket depths with his cleaning instruments and determine that you have periodontitis. You will need to have the cleaning done every 3-4mo to stop it from worsening.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld i cant go to dentist due to some issues can i take care of my oral hygiene at home willit be helpful?? I am in depression due to this problem pls dr tell me if it really cause heart attack?
@user-ot6el9ph8s it will be helpful, but depending on how bad it is, often it can't be sufficiently managed with only home care. There are links with heart problems, but the link isn't strong. Almost no risk if the gum disease is well managed
My gums are red, they don’t hurt or doesn’t bleed, can it still be dangerous? I can’t really get into the dentist for a month or so? What products can I use
Hi Samantha. If your gums are red, it's likely that you have gingivitis. All the info you need about products and what you can do before visiting the dentist is in this video 👍
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld odd question? Can it kill me if I wait a few weeks to go? I floss day and night brush day and night and use peroxide mouth wash once a day! My biggest fear is I’m going to die from it
Hey legends! I hope you liked the video and got something useful out of it 👍

Does washing your mouth with TCP get rid of gum disease?
I can't find anything in the literature to show that it helps for that, so I'll say no
Thank you for this, not everyone can afford to go to the dentist. I'm in the UK and we used to have a good NHS but nowadays not many dentists are accepting NHS patients. The British are known for having bad teeth and they are poorly educated in this subject. I found out I had Stage 3 gum disease in January and it must've been progressing for years, but I wasn't told. Many people are not told by their dentists that they have gum disease, I don't know why, maybe because the dentist knows they cannot afford the treatments, or on the other hand they are waiting for it to progress so they can make more money.
I am trying to find ways of treating it at home, particularly as I suffer from Agoraphobia !
I had severe gum disease and a deep pocket on one of my teeth, went to the dentist had a deep clean and trying to save that one tooth. Apart from brushing i also massage my gums once every day with turmeric. I don't know why it helps but believe me i have seen amazing results and have saved my tooth.
Great to hear! I'm sure the deep cleaning helped as well 👌
Just regular tumeric?
Did you buy like tumeric toothpaste?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Doesn't the turmeric gum massage stain both the gums and teeth though?
All my dental problems started when I visited the dentis
They probably started before going to the dentist, but they were the ones that found the problems?
Same for me
Me 2
Me too. This is crazy
Me too 😭
From Pennsylvania thank you so much for your video. I’ve been having swelling gums that gets more agitated with flossing for almost 2 weeks now. I’ve never had a cavity and I’ve always taking good care of my teeth, so this is weird. So your video is very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome, glad to hear you liked it 🙌
Thank you for this video, Dr. Paul. It's the first video of yours that I've seen.
My gums are in much worse condition after receiving Chemotherapy for a few months earlier this year (I stopped 1 month ago, in early may of this year). I was getting it from Mid-January-early May 2022.
I was astounded to see on the Cancer Council website that some people might experience such gum aggravation/soreness that maybe they shouldn't even brush at all, using only mouthwashes.
Well, my gums became so sore that I could barely even eat & had to have a lot of soups, even eating a soft banana hurt them. So, I thought that maybe I was one of those cases who shouldn't brush (it was incredibly counter intuitive to my thinking, but the soreness really was THAT bad).
Brushing only added to the pain & I worried that my gums had become so soft that brushing might wear them away to a really bad degree.
So, there were times when I didn't brush for 2 days, until I couldn't stand it anymore (I couldn't stand the dirtiness of them).
Now that I've stopped Chemo, I am back to brushing every day but I see a massive gum recession on the front of my bottom teeth (the 2 front teeth).
My God, the bleeding was horrendous a few nights ago but it's getting less & less with each day that passes, Thank God.
But the recession is something that doesn't correct itself, as you know - not from brushing & flossing regularly.
I stumbled across a video talking about a technique called "PinHole" technique which helps enormously to bring the gums back to being less recessed.
Have you heard of this technique?
I would really love to get it but there are only 2 dentists in Australia who do it. 1 is in Melbourne (my home city), the other is in Sydney.
Do you know about it? If not, would you be interested in learning it?
And... which city are you in?
Thanks so much for your channel :)
Aaahhh, I just noticed that you're in Sydney. I wish I lived there so that I could become your patient.
Hi there! Sorry to hear about your situation! The pinhole technique is one of many that can replace lost gum due to recession - there are others that are as effective and have been around for longer (not to say one is better than the other).
As a general dentist this isn't a field that I have learnt (yet). After assessing your teeth and gums, I would send you to a gum specialist.
I am gonna start with this. Mom always explains things wrong, and you guide actually makes sense!!
Glad to hear 🙌🙌

Hi there sorry to hear about your situation but I am glad that you liked the video. I don't think that the driver for not telling patients is to make more money - most dentist don't like doing the procedures to fix gum disease tbh. I think the crux of the problem is that not enough dentist check thoroughly for gum disease and they don't have time to discuss the findings and the implications
If you have it, you really need to be going at least twice a year for a professional cleaning. You can't treat it at home, you can only help slow it down. The twice a year cleaning will help you stop it
Thank you Dr.Paul. for sharing this information.. I've been struggling with gum disease and bleeding gums for a while now..I will try to follow the 5 steps you said..
Good luck with it!
In addition to the steps mentioned, I suggest that you also switch to using a soft-bristled toothbrush. In addition to removing plaque, this can also help prevent gum recession as per kriss ai and my dentist. 😉
Soft bristled all the way!
@@rokishoto yepp, this is what my dentist advised me. btw, what kriss ai?
My problems only started after I had chest infection and x2 bouts of pleurisy in March this year. I was given a course of amoxicillin initially, then doxycycline for first bout of pleurisy and another course for 2nd lot of pleurisy. The chest issues lasted over 10 weeks. I bought OTC meds, washes, pastes. Chewing gum. While waiting for dental appt. My dentist did a check up and advised seeing hygienist. I had to wait another 3 months for that. My teeth were so sensitive she barely removed any tartar. I spoke to my doctor he could do nothing. I’m 66 terrified of losing teeth. Thanks for your advice. Best wishes from Devon Uk
If the problems are related to your gums then the only way to fix it properly is to have them cleaned. This can be something that is quite sensitive so to fix that you can always have your teeth cleaned using local anaesthetic so you don't feel any pain at all
This is one of the best video explanations for gum disease I have ever seen. Good job💪💪
Thank you David for the great feedback 🙌
Done all this and attended dental hygenist every 3 months for 10 years and I still developed peridonal disease
Hi Cathy, did you have periodontal disease prior to visiting for 10 years?
If someone was having their teeth cleaned *effectively and they were doing *effective (technique, duration, frequency) cleaning at home, I would say it is almost impossible to develop serious periodontal disease.
If this was the case, I would be looking at seeing if there are any underlying medical concerns that could be contributing.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld
I had gingivitis with receding gums and had lost a few back teeth when the 3 month treatment started to try and save the remaing top teeth after about 8 years of intense hygenist cleaning i developed peridonal disease on 3 of the remaining 6 top teeth
Hi Cathy, it sounds like you have made a great effort to slow the progression down! If you had already lost some teeth, I imagine the periodontal disease was quite bad, so to not have lost any other teeth is great.
Were you ever seeing a periodontal specialist or just the hygienist?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld
I lost my back teeth due to receding gums not peridonal disease. I was never referred to a specialist just the hygenist cleaning my teeth every 3 months for 10 years not sure why my gingivitis progressed to peridonal when I was receiving treatment evert 3 months. On one visit to the hygenist she pierced the gum on my front tooth i jumped out the seat it was very painful and my front tooth was always painful after this happened. About 12 months later I went for my routine clean and she called the dentist in for a second opinion and he said you have peridonal disease your teeth need to come out. Do you think she damaged the gum which aloud bacteria to enter the deep pocket? I was never given an x-ray or referred to peridonal specialist even after complaining about the pain in my front tooth.
Hi Cathy, the pain that you had on the front tooth wouldn't have affected bacteria being able to get in further into the pocket.
In regards to the recession and how everything progressed into periodontal disease, it is very hard to comment over the internet. It sounds like you went to great effort to maintain your teeth, which I'm sure increased their life expectancy.
i brushed my teeth and it worked thanks dr paul.
Good to hear and you're welcome - don't forget the other stuff!
I had a filling in a molar and after 6months I had a pus that doesn't want to go after the doctor gave antibiotics. I don't won't to lose my tooth due to depression. Thanks for the video.
It sounds like the nerve in the tooth is dead so the tooth either needs to be removed or you have root canal therapy. The antibiotics won't remove the infection properly
💗I stopped smoking( ❄️ 🦃) but I see dry blood in the morning red swollen gums I haven't used listerine I don't want dry mouth issues like my elderly mom deals with I will try apple cider vinegar
The dry blood and the red swollen gums means that the gums are inflamed, due to the presence of plaque, calculus and bacteria. Do you have regular teeth cleanings at the dentist?
Great video with great information.
This was well needed.
You're welcome 🙌
Dr. Paul, I have gingivitis. I brush my teeth twice a day. I start off with 1) A rinse with sodium bicarbonate/sodium chloride solution. 2. brush my with gentle strokes from the base of my gum line towards the tooth (upper and lower jaw). 3. rinse repeatedly with the sodium solution in step 1. Step 4. I rinse with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide with mint flavor from colgate. Do you think this should reverse my gum infection? Thank you.
Do you clean in between the teeth, like with floss? If not, you should add that to your regime.
Otherwise it looks good
Thank you Dr. I will add the flossing. I heard too much flossing causes receding gum line.
Thank you brother . After this deep cleaning I had. Teeth haven’t been properly cleaned in 10 years Atleast wow lol never again. Taking this stuff more serious
Yep, having them cleaned is always a good motivator to keep them that way! Onwards and upwards 🙌
Deep cleaning from dentist??
Good luck trying to get a dentist here in England!
Why is that?
Unless you go private it's a dental desert...
Dr. Paul, wish you were my dentist! I have horrible dental anxiety. Amongst many things that have scarred me, had a scaling performed once and the EXTREME sensitivity in my upper incisors created so much pain and zaps down my spine, I jerked up out of the chair! I have chills even revisiting the thought. I know this sounds extreme, but it's led to me avoiding the dentist and now I have pretty advanced gum disease. I asked my previous dentist for nitrous or sedation for these procedures (even offered to pay cash if insurance wouldn't cover), I was always told no and feel my anxiety wasn't addressed very compassionately. The dental practice administered nitrous on a regular basis for peds patients (extractions), so I didn't see the issue with requesting it for myself. Please offer your advice or suggestions... how would you proceed with a patient such as myself?
Sorry to hear the situation! You definitely need a dental cleaning and we do have services for anxious patients like you:
- happy gas
- oral sedation (medications like valium)
- and we can make your teeth numb with local anaesthetic
If they say no to these, find someone else
Get a dentist who will do what you want the dentist to do, you are the customer.
Thank you for a very easy to understand explanation.
You're welcome I'm glad you liked it!
Wow, Dr. Paul, I like your energy and this video. Thanks for simply explaining the process to us. Great Video.
You're welcome and thank you for the feedback!
Informative video. Now i know what the problem with my gums is
Thank you, glad you liked it 🙌
Awesome Dr!! You are wonderful, I just heard about you now with this video, you speak very well and love it sir!!! 🙏😎🎉 God bless you.
Thanks Daniel! 🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing. My gums are worse in certain areas. I am diligent about slowing down the process of gum recession.
Sounds good! Recession can also be caused by over brushing with your toothbrush so be careful about that too
Does gum disease always result in bad breath? If not how to you prevent it? If so, how do you fix it?
Not always. In those cases it could be tooth decay (solution - fix tooth decay) or it could be from gut problems (solution - see a doctor about it).
In cases that it does cause bad breath, you need a deep cleaning with a dentist and then good at me care

Awesome thanks for the feedback 🙌
Thanks for explaining about the mouthwash use for those of us with gum disease, and giving options available in Australia. Any recommendations for super sensitive teeth?
You're welcome.
For sensitive teeth: try a sensitive toothpaste. Don't rinse after brushing, to help the paste be more effective. After the night time brush, smear some of the paste on the teeth most affected. If that doesn't work and you want it fixed, you may have to go to the dentist for them to seal it off.
There are many crooked dentists out there. They purposely crack your teeth to get more work. Beware people! My dentist cracked my tooth then extracted it. They ruin teeth without you knowing. Just like bad mechanics. Not saying this dentist is bad. He seems to be a nice guy. But... always be cautious!
Sorry to hear that happened. Are you able to explain how your dentist cracked your tooth?
Is chlorohexedine really any better than other antiseptic antibacterial mouthwashes like listerine for inflamed sore gums? If so, why? Also, can you brush after mouthwashing with chlorohexedune to prevent staining?
Yes, miles better. It targets the specific bacteria that cause gum disease. Listerine mouthwashes don't do anything, and I don't recommend them except if you want to feel like fresh breath. They say that they kill bacteria, but that isn't a good thing because the mouth is a complex environment with bacteria that you don't want to disturb (unless it is specific like chlorhexidine).
You don't want to brush afterwards because it will reduce the effectiveness of the chlorhexidine (one - because toothpastes inhibit its action, two - you want it to stay around the gums after using). My advice is to get one that doesn't stain.
Thank for sharing it heps me a lot...very informative po
You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!
Very informative thanks for the video.
You're welcome 👌
Thank u Dr. Your suggestion helped me a lot! Problem is due to lockdown can't visit dentist.
You're welcome!
Doc here in the USA the mouthwash closely related to your reference is CPC, what is your opinion it against gingivitis?
There is good research behind it 👌
Thank you very much for your excellent video sir. Apart from the advice, what I liked about it was your sympathetic approach and voice. You were on the side of the patient which is not always the case with some dentists I feel.
I have had a sore gum for many, many months, not helped by the coronavirus restrictions of course. The problem seems better or worse at times though probably it is not helped by my contant prodding to see if it still hurts! I have heard that hydrogen peroxide mouthwashes are preferable to ones containing chlorhexidine so I am a bit confused! Another one here in UK is called Corsodyl but again I have heard it should be used with caution. Meanwhile I am exercising to gain strength for my next ear bashing from my dentist!
Blessings and peace
Hi George, thank you for the comments!
Yes hydrogen peroxide does also work well. It has been shown to have good results with gum disease. I mostly recommend it for people with gum issues around wisdom teeth though. Maybe try it?
The cordosyl that you mentioned has chlorhexidine, so it should work well, but try and find out if it will result in staining.
Hopefully you can get to the dentist soon and they don't ear bash too much 😅
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thank you for taking time to reply sir. In fact, at my routine six monthly appointment, I saw a partner of my usual dentist who was undergoing minor surgery. She was a bit more gentle with the ears though she was a little less so with the drill she was using to do a filling!
The tooth root/gum affected is towards the back so presumably it's in hiding! Anyway I will splash some Corsodyl on it until I discover the name of a hp type wash. Thank you again. You have made an old (ish!)man happier.
Blessings and peace.
Hi George, try and use the Mouthrinse a few times a week. Also put some on your toothbrush in the area that is affected the most. I will also link you a toothbrushing video which you might find helpful. I've never liked the idea of giving my patients ear bashings, I don't think it's the most effective way to make them way for them to want to improve their situation 😅

Nice video.My gums gave been swelled and bleeding is coming.Dr suggested me multivitamins and parodium gel.acne is inside cheeks and on my tongue small red color acne and now bigger.
Interesting. You might want to get the 'acne' looked into further if it stays around for more than 2wks
My hygienist sadly shortened my front teeth and made them thicker I’m so pissed
As my front teeth were longer before he shortened them and cleaned my mouth and pushed a natural plus teeth whitening
I have gingivitis he told me to buy oral b gum care toothpaste floss and peroxyl mouthwash
Is that good ?
Sorry to hear!
Yes that mouthwash is good too.
Thanks for sharing your experience,any suggestions on gum sensitivity and gums infection
Sensitivity is related to the tooth being sensitive, not really the gum. Sometimes it is caused by recession of the gum. Sensitive toothpaste first, but if no success, then sometimes sealants can be done on the exposed surface
Gum infection needs deep cleaning from a dentist then good at home care.
Dentist says I now have periodontal 😞. She said I’ll have to be taken this chloroxedin fluid twice a day for the next 6 weeks. The plaque and tartar was removed just two weeks ago.
Hi John, sorry to hear. It sounds like you'r ein good hands though. If you follow the steps in this video, it will help as well. Make sure to not have the chlorhexidine fluid within 1hr of brushing.
Paul
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld thanks

Amazing video it is really helpful 👍 👏 😀
Good to hear 🙌🙌
My gingivitis is as bad as it looks almost as bad as a small cut but I have tried for four weeks to get rid of it and I tried the 45 degrees and it is still bleeding and it is getting better, but it is still tough to remove
When was the last time you had a clean at the dentist? If you don't do that, the build-up of calculus will never allow you to get rid of the gingivitis. Once you've had the cleaning done, it's a matter of keeping it clean with the tips in this video.
What % Curasept mouthwash do you recommend?? And how long to use it?
So you recommend using the wash how long after brushing? Just once a day?
Hi there, 0.12% or 0.2% are both OK. All of those questions are answered in the video: use for 1min, at least 1hr before or after brushing, 1x/day
Thanks for your advice

Thank you for video and I have removed 4 bottom tooth’s due to periodontal disease and my question is can I get dental implant With this disease? I am really worry about my other tooth’s
It's not the best idea to get implants unless the periodontal disease is completely under control, because an implant can get periodontal disease, often easier than a tooth can.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld thank you very much doctor and how long it will take under control my Dentist gave me mouth wash and now I am using it. I am really scary to loosing more tooth’s
Normally we clean the teeth thoroughly, and then re assess it at 2-3 months. Often it requires 3 monthly cleaning to improve.
How long it takes depends on how bad it is to start with, and how good you are at home cleaning
Very Informative ....thank you..
Thank you!
If every dentist I went to wasn’t so god darn judgmental and rude about the slightest thing wrong I would go more.

Very helpful thank you Summer
You're welcome 🙌
have petiodontal disesse(I don't have moving teeth or loose teeth).l'm after deep cleaning and surgery with prf.Now ewrything seems ok. Can I stop the progress? or only what i can do it, is slowing down? I do all 5 step . The pocket depht after surgery is 2-3-4 mm( 6 month control)My periodontolog said I can stop it.I confused now 😢
Hi there! If you have 2-4mm pockets 6mo after that is great. Healthy is 3mm or less so 4mm is not that bad.
The periodontist likely wouldn't have said you can't stop it, but they would have said that once you have gum disease it will be there forever. Because once you have lost the bone, the bone will not grow back. The definition of gum disease is a pocket of 4 mm or more. That does not mean you cannot stop it's progression, which is what your goal is now. You want to make sure that the pocket does not get any deeper and that is via the steps I have mentioned in this video. Does that make sense?
Thank you for the answer! I will do everithyng for the best result.🙂. Can we ( petiodontal disease patient) consum vitamins, supliments for a helthier gum and teth?What kind of vitamins can we choose? I'd cut all the grain and sugar from my diet after i was diagnosticated with periodontal disease. What are you thinking about keto or paleo diet in periodisease?( Sorry for my english I don't really speak the language 😅, but i undertand almost everything) Have a nice day!
To be honest there isn't hugely strong evidence about diet and gum disease, so there aren't specific vitamins etc to have. The most important thing is removing the plaque and the biofilm (using these tips)
Dr. Paul dental world, am from UK, my gums count is 3mm and I got aggressive gingivitis am told and swallow my roof of my mouth, just had deep scaling and I had tablets bring it down, based on the gum count would this be reversible at this stage? Always told keep you're teeth clean but never about gums until year ago, Amy info be great thank you from UK
If it is 3mm, then that is just inflamed gums (gingivitis) and not gum disease. This means that after your deep scaling, if you can maintain things with good brushing and flossing at home, and regular cleaning at the dentist, then you won't get any worse 👌
@Dr Paul's Dental World can it be completely cured or just stop at this point? Is conconut oil pulling good for this? I been told it is, am using mouthwash morning and night and getting cleanings every 3 months, also been told to floss and make my gums bleed every night before bed to draw the bugga out, anymore info would be great
- Completely cured, yes. You just have gingivitis. If you have gum disease (where you have pockets more than 3mm), then this is technically non curable and can only be stopped. Not too much of a concern unless the pockets are 6mm or more though
- Coconut oil pulling can help gingivitis, but needs to be done once a day for about 20mins
- Mouthrinse isn't actually effective. Just make sure you are flossing first, then brushing correctly afterwards, and cleans every 4-6 months
- Don't make the gums bleed. If they are bleeding it means that you have gingivitis (gum inflammation) or you are flossing too hard which is bad for your gums in the long-term
Good Morning Sir. Sir i am Arman from India. Sir I wanted to know that which Mouth wash is better for oral hygenic Alcohol based or without Alcohol based mouth wash.
Without alcohol. The one with alcohol can contribute to drying out of your mouth

It depends what it is for.
If it contains chlorhexidine, make sure it is not within 1hr of brushing.
If it is just for fresh breath, any time.
If it is for fluoride, then you should use it during the day sometime.

And to mention I’ve had an urti
Hey Dylan, thanks for reaching out.
Braces are difficult because plaque collects on the teeth really easily.
If the gums are swollen, sounds like you'd really benefit from a thorough clean from your dentist, and then meticulous home care.
I would also recommend getting yourself some curasept mouthwash as it kills the bacteria associated with him problems.
Let me know if you d save any other questions.
Dr Paul's Dental World but my dentist isn’t open due to covid-19
Ok fair enough.
Just make sure you're brushing three times a day, and use some curasept in the afternoon (not within an hour of brushing).
Pour some on your brush and brush it around the gum that is most swollen.
Good day sir... May I know how to get rid of these gum problem using natural material that could be found inside at home....hope you notice😉❤️ thanks for the video....
Hi there! Check out this link: www.healthline.com/health/wisdom-teeth-pain-relief

I suspect there is a far better method of prevention and cure. The answer is dental probiotics. You have to be careful though because not all companies that sell dental probiotics use the right strains of bacteria in their formulations.
Yes that would help, but if you provide a food source for the bacteria in your mouth (plaque), then the problem will still there. Without plaque, there will never be a problem with the gums, it's as simple as that.
I’ve noticed some redness around my teeth but I haven’t got any pain whatsoever, does this mean I’m in the early stages of gum disease ?
Hi there. Yes, redness around the teeth is a good indicator of gum disease, because your gums are inflamed.
It may be the early stages, but it may also be more advanced stages as well.
Best thing would be to have the teeth professionally cleaned to remove the hard build up (calculus), and then really good cleaning if the teeth/gums at home.
Hello doctor, I have periodontal disease, I did root canal treatment and minor gum surgery but my gum is still swollen around one tooth though its painless is it something to be worried of.
Hi Joyce, if it is swollen, that is not a good thing so I would suggest getting this checked out if it doesn't go now. It could be an infection, and the infection won't go away by itself.
Thank you doctor
🙌🙌
Ok i will try
You've got this 👌
You can't use some things if the gums are inflamed,but sore,try putting clove oil on red hot gums, you'd be screaming
The gums need to be cleaned to properly reduce the inflammation
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld if a person has Candida Albicans, you can clean a number of times but you're still going to have problems, people need to recognize that.
You need to treat the candida if there is infection for sure
Hello.Very helpful video.I also wanted to to know if we gargle NaCl water, whether it works or not.how do we make gums stronger?i mean which nutrient supplement?
It helps a a little, but not much. The best is to follow all the tips in the video
After the osseus surgery the pocket size will reduce? I have 5 pocket depth will it reduce after osseus surgery?
It should help reduve the pocket depth, as long as you follow the right at home steps and continue with maintenance cleans etc.
Hii doc.. few days ago i just done my scaling as i am suffering from gingiva my doc suggested me to use chlorhexidine but after after using for few days my white teeth are getting brownish and having black lines....what to do to get rid of it ???? And using sensoform paste for long time is good or bad ??
Hi there, you shouldn't use every day with the chlorhexidine. Normally the teeth start to stain after two weeks, not a few days. How often are you using it through the day? Normally use it for a week, then don't use for a week.
That toothpaste should be fine, especially if it has fluoride in it.

I just tried to search about why my gum was peeling off. One of my tooth's gum at front was peeling off. It started about a week ago. It may seem like it's a Mild Periodontitis. I remembered my dentist diagnosed me with Gingivitis. But I neglected her warnings. And now, it came to this. I am currently planning to visit a dentist about my condition. Is there hope for me? Can this be cured or is this a life time?
There is definitely help. If you have periodontitis, you have bone loss. The bone won't come back, but your goal is to get re attachment of the gum on to the tooth and to keep it healthy and strong. This happens with the tips I give in this video
My gums are pink and healthy I brush twice a day and I am using corsodyl mouthwash once a day. Earlier this year I injured one single tooth one by biting into a lamb bone whilst eating since then its acting weird! One of my front two teeth is clicking when i push with my tongue, I dont think I have gum disease because they are not painful or sore or bleeding, will this tooth fall out eventually or am I just overthinking it, when I attempt to move the tooth it moves 1mm out of place but I think its just clicking from a local shock to the root canal. Please can someone reassure me I wont lose this tooth I dont want a dental replacement. I am too young to be losing teeth. The rest are healthy and fine! 😢😢😢😢😢
Can a dentist save my tooth and what is a bite adjustment what does it do? I cannot get into a dentist no room 😮
It doesn't sound good, that one of the teeth are moving. It either means it is a localised problem (from the lamb bone?) or a sign of a generalised problem (possibly gum disease).
The best thing I can suggest is to have a dentist look at it. I'm sure you'd be able to find somewhere that could see you in the next month or so.
A bite adjustment is if you have one tooth that is hitting against the other teeth too heavily, it can make that tooth sore or wobbly, so a bite adjustment is done to reduce that pressure
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld But i dont wanna lose tooth. My cousin had the same issue and his tooth was wobbly for 1 year never fell out. Is there a luxation technique dentists can do caa they push it back into the gum and save it i just need reassurance. Im worried mum said dont worry people are just scaremongering you and that it wont fall out
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld what is luxation?
My recommendation is to get a proper opinion after they see your teeth, not from me
I don’t mind to visit the dentis every 3 months if u are the dentist :)
😊😊 Thank you
But I have one question,,if you can answer personal msg or even In group,,I think 50 %people have same doubt,,most people thinks that after cleaning the teeths from professional,,the teeths grips get loosen from roots,,,,
Is it??
Hi there. This is simply not the case. When we clean teeth we are removing the plaque and calculus on the teeth, we are not altering the attachment of the tooth to the bone.
The only time that a tooth might feel more loose is if someone has very bad gum disease, and their teeth are already loose. If they have lots of calculus collecting around the teeth, this can stabilise the teeth slightly. When the calculus is removed, the tooth will then feel more loose, but it is because the person has gum disease. Does that make sense?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Unfortunately at this stage of gum disease, so how can I tighten the gums as a diabetic with rheumatoid arthritis. Scaling and root planing scheduled next month 😕
Regular scaling and root planing, as well as very good at home care (like discussed in this video).
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thanks so much for the prompt reply 😄 I'm determined to save as many teeth as possible! Just subscribed to your channel, as well.
Good idea!
Thank you 🙌🙌
Is there a mouthwash or other substance won’t kill the beneficial mouth bacteria?
Ones like the chlorhexidine one that I suggested, they target the bad guys mostly.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thank you very much, may I ask about CPC please?
It works well too, and doesn't disturb too much of the good ones
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thank you very much from the UK.
You're welcome 👌
Hi doc I already have bone loss my teeth receeds and teetht yellow ang my teeth moves..does it mean I need to pull all my teeth can bone loss recover or back to normal? My dentist won't allow to pull all my teeth bymut I feel sick on my teeth
Impossible to give you a diagnosis and treatment plan over a UA-cam comment, but moving teeth isn't good long term. If they say not to remove them, then maybe you shouldn't. The replacement options are either cheap and not that good (removable denture) or very good looking, comfortable but expensive (all on 4)
Bone loss won't recover, but with good at home care and frequent visits hopefully you can improve the gum and bone attachment and they will move less. If they are yellow, you can do teeth whitening?
Is it better to see a good dentists thats gentle with adhd and provide better service even they dont takd medicakd?
For the sake of your teeth, yes
I wish I can sent pics of my teeth for I to see even though u not in chicago. However, if I try gently brushing the canal and gums off softly when I'm at home or in my dorm, and floss twice after brushing teeth, that won't help?
You should do that anyway, yes. I'm not sure what you're problem is though, so not sure if it will help your situation. You may require dental treatment to help
I brush canal and gum gently with toothpick for those I'm unsure white stuffs tartar?
Can gum disease heal totally or it can only be controlled??
Depends on the severity. Mild gum disease (pockets up to 5mm) can practically be healed (pockets up to 3mm) but more than that, it is just about improving the pockets and then controlling it
I dont have a dentist but just got an emergency appointment this morning. The dentist said I have an gum infection and the gums are starting to recede.I was given antibiotics. Will they stop it? Also is an infection the same as gum disease? I am so upset I am now flossing and using various otc treatments. Is there a chance I can reverse this? They only started bleeding 2 weeks ago.
Hi there, to be honest it's hard to say based on your description.
Antibiotics can help for the time being if there is a gun infection. It won't really stop him disease. Gun disease is different to infection. Receding guns is, however, a sign of gum disease. So maybe there is gum disease and infection?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Ah thanks for your reply I am beside myself with worry. I thought gum infection was gum disease. She said I had the start of receding in one tooth. If it is gum disease can it be reversed with extreme otc remedies and excellent hygiene? I really appreciate your help I have been crying all day.
Hi there. Gum disease can't be reversed but it can be stopped. Receding gums are also unlikely to be able to be reversed. Did she mention pocket depths? It might have been some numbers she would've said to her nurse. If yes, the idea is that we reduce the pocket depth
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld She just looked and said you have a gum infection I will give you some antibiotics for 3 days
. She didn't mention pocket depth or measure anything could a gum infection be stopped ? she isn`t going to see me again for a follow-up. don't have a dentist and can't get one in the UK. Thanks again for all your help.
Ok np, good luck with it!
I have bleeding gums from last 9 month I am using corosodyl toothpaste from 2 month buht nothing change and from one corosodyl mouth wash ,
When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned at the dentist?
Good job
Thank you!
How about pro biotic pill in the mouth ???
Is this for before or after surgery?
i’ve noticed that after i got a cavity out, my gums have been red and bleeding but it stopped as time passed by. i have a cracked tooth and i need to get it fixed but it builds up brown stuff in my tooth and every time i brush my teeth i rinse my mouth out with a lot of water to get it out. but ever since that doctor appointment my gums have gotten whiter and red at the very top. i don’t know what i have. i think i have gingivitis but i don’t know if it’s something more serious.
Hi Jasmine, if you're unsure if it is something serious, it might be best to see a dentist about it.
Based on your description I was a little confused tbh with what your situation is right now.
If a patient has periodontal disease and slight bone loss will they eventually lose their teeth?
No. Provided it is just slight bone loss, if they follow these steps they can maintain their teeth forever 👌
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Even if the gums holding the teeth have receded a lot?
It depends how much they have receded. I have had patients concerned about the gums receding a lot and compared to what I have seen, they hadn't receded that much.
Recession does also mean bone loss, but if it is stabilised and maintained, and the cause of the problem removed, then it won't get worse.
You need to look out for pocketing. If there is deep pocketing around the teeth, then it becomes very hard to clean down inside the pocket, and then you will get further bone loss. If this is the case, then more regular cleanings at the dentist or specialist is required.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Thank you for taking the time to answer 🙂

I have red gums in my left face and my left cheek started to become bigger. What to do?
Hi there. If it is swollen, you should go and see a dentist about this.
If it is a gum problem, try the things that I recommended in the video.

😢 we don't realize how impactful this shit is.. I am vivid on why this has been happening for so fkn long... Somewhere along the WAY I PROMISE.. MY MOTHER WASN'T THE CAUSE.. IT WAS THE TRAUMatic experience that I once experienced.. out of NOWHERE.. MAYBE CUZ THE dentist shut down..Unexpectedly... The Facility!!! Idk
Good luck with improving your gums going forward, hopefully this video helps!
Hello doctor, can frenectomy reduce the pockets of my gums?
If you have gum loss near the frenectomy, then having it removed can help.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld No I have gum loss cause my frenulum is high and my doc recommend frencetomy so after that will my gums get back to the original position? or maybe the pockets will improve?
It probably won't go back to the original position, but it should improve. It will also help you keep the area clean which can improve the pockets
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld Okay thank you doctor!!
🙌🙌
I am having severe gumache for the last 2 days. Visited Dentist, I'm on medicine but still the pain is unbearable , specially in the lower part
Did they clean it out with local anaesthetic?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld cleaned with water only
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld prescribed Aceclowal tablets
Fingers crossed it helps 🤞🤞
thank you, godbless
You're welcome!
Hi sir...can a dentist say that it is periodontitis just by looking at the gums without an x ray and prob...my dentist said that you have perodontitis because my gums were bleeding but i am comfused coz i think it is gingivitis coz i hadnt any symptom before i had bleeding just for 2 3 weeks he did scaling and polishing and gave me antibiotics now my gums and teeth are alright no blood but i am so much worried coz i have heard that this problm can cause heart problems as well
If he cleaned your teeth it means he would be able to assess the pocket depths with his cleaning instruments and determine that you have periodontitis.
You will need to have the cleaning done every 3-4mo to stop it from worsening.
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld can you tell me what does 1 m means in dentist language?
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld i cant go to dentist due to some issues can i take care of my oral hygiene at home willit be helpful?? I am in depression due to this problem pls dr tell me if it really cause heart attack?
@user-ot6el9ph8s it will be helpful, but depending on how bad it is, often it can't be sufficiently managed with only home care.
There are links with heart problems, but the link isn't strong. Almost no risk if the gum disease is well managed
1m means 1 month
What about using hydrogen peroxide diluted down ?
That would work pretty well too
Apparently not available in US (neutrafluor 5000 mouthrinse)
Yes it looks like it isn't available! Clinpro 5000 is a toothpaste that I think should be available
Thank u very much sir guide me.
You're welcome 🙌
So, when you say smoking is bad for the gums...do you mean all forms of smoking? Or is it cigarette specific?
Tobacco and nicotine are bad. They reduce the body's immune response and the gums degrade over time
@@DrPaulsDentalWorldwhat about marijuana?
Not great for gums as well
Great advice, time 2 quite
Thank you 👍
Thank you
You're welcome!
My gums are red, they don’t hurt or doesn’t bleed, can it still be dangerous? I can’t really get into the dentist for a month or so? What products can I use
Hi Samantha. If your gums are red, it's likely that you have gingivitis. All the info you need about products and what you can do before visiting the dentist is in this video 👍
@@DrPaulsDentalWorld odd question? Can it kill me if I wait a few weeks to go? I floss day and night brush day and night and use peroxide mouth wash once a day! My biggest fear is I’m going to die from it
No you can't die from it 👍
