Hi I wonder if you can help me. I notice that when I brush my front teeth bleed a bit, this is a bit frightening. I admit I don’t floss as much as I should but when I do, some of the teeth bleed a bit. I went to my dentist at the middle of last month (November) and she said my teeth were okay. I would like some advice please?
I am thinking of using Corsadyle once a month, is this advisable please?
I don’t put my hair into my mouth like I used to, I learnt my lesson there. I brushed this morning, but the stupid battery died on me, so I am waiting for it to recharge.
You can use Corsodyl every day if you want, it's good, both for your teeth / gums and your breath. A TCP gargle is quite refreshing once in a while too
I heard it can leave a yellow stain on your teeth as my dentist said it was very powerful. I wasn't that happpy with the care because she didn't seem that bothered when I had Ginvitus! She said it's gone now but I am always worrying it wi return.
The possibility of staining is a fair point. If your teeth and gums are perfectly fine (as attested to by your dentist shrugging) then don't worry about them Don't be a sucker for slick scaremongering marketing
Generally speaking, when there is a bleeding while brushing it means your gums have inflammation. Gum inflammation is called gingivitis and if it isn't stopped it turns to periodontitis which is more serious level. Possible
cause of gingivitis can be plaque accumulation, inaccurate margins of the crowns or even some systemic disorder, but in that case there would be more symptoms. I suggest you to have your mouth and teeth checked by
dentist specialised in periodontology or prostodontist.
Check your diet as you may have an infection or you may have a vitamin C deficiency. If it keeps happening, I'd suggest seeing your GP as well as your dentist in case blood tests are necessary. Mouthwashes such as Corsadyl should not be necessary unless prescribed by a doctor or dentist.
