The Truth about Swollen Gums

Recently I've had a wave of new patients presenting with a complaint of swollen gums...these patients are terrified that they might be losing their teeth...perhaps they have heard of friends or family members having swollen gums that turned out to an abscess or a localized infection...and maybe those cases turned into a root canal or an extraction...but the swollen gums I'm seeing these days are nothing more than mouths requiring a little bit of TLC..and that's all there usually is to it...perhaps a good old debridement or a more specialized deeper cleaning is all that is needed and these situations usually respond very well to treatment.  Swollen gums are usually not the end of the world but if this is a repeated complaint over several or many years and you haven't visited the dental office in a while, it might be a good time to go in for a checkup...just a thought.

  2. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot! allograft gum surgery
