Treatment of bleeding gums

First you need to eliminate the cause of the appearance of blood. That is, at the very beginning, the doctor will recommend that you remove hardened tartar and soft plaque on the teeth from exposure to microbes. Then it is necessary to carry out anti-inflammatory treatment and learn the correct actions when cleaning the oral cavity.

Removal of calculus is carried out only in a dentist's office. As for anti-inflammatory therapy, it is also carried out at home. Most often deposits on teeth removed by ultrasonic cleaning. If there is not much stone on your teeth, then you can get by with one session. But if there are growths under the gums, then it will take several visits.

Anti-inflammatory treatment usually lasts at least 10 days. Usually, for such therapy, a solution of Chlohexedine and Cholisal-gel are used for applications.

The procedures are done twice a day. To begin with, rinse your mouth with Chlorhexedine solution for one minute. Then the Holisalom application is applied to the gum area. For better fixation of the gel, the gums must be dried with cotton wool before applying it. After applying the gel, food should not be eaten for about 3 hours.

Together with anti-inflammatory therapy, training in correct hygiene practices is carried out. If this point is neglected, then after a few weeks dental deposits will reappear.
