About Sore Gums

Sore gums, medically known as gingivitis or periodontitis, are a common dental concern often requiring professional intervention at a dental surgery. This procedure is not a single treatment but a comprehensive approach to diagnose and address the underlying cause of gum inflammation, tenderness, and bleeding. A dental surgeon will perform a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to assess the health of your gums and supporting bone. Treatment typically involves professional dental cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. For more advanced cases, surgical interventions like flap surgery or gum grafts may be necessary to eliminate deep infection and restore gum health. The goal is to halt disease progression, alleviate discomfort, and prevent tooth loss, promoting long-term oral wellness.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sophia Khan, a 28-year-old marketing manager,...

Sophia Khan, a 28-year-old marketing manager, had always been diligent about her oral hygiene. However, after six months of using Invisalign to correct a minor overbite, she began experiencing persistent soreness, redness, and bleeding along her gumline, especially when flossing. The aligners, while effective, made her gums feel constantly irritated. Her dentist, Dr. Chen, diagnosed localized gingivitis exacerbated by the aligner trays trapping plaque. He recommended a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing for the affected quadrants. During the treatment, Dr. Chen used a local anesthetic to ensure comfort while meticulously cleaning below the gumline. Sophia felt pressure but no pain. In the week following, her gums were tender but the bleeding stopped almost immediately. Within two weeks, the soreness and redness had completely resolved. Emotionally, Sophia felt frustrated and anxious that her orthodontic journey was being derailed by pain. After the procedure, she felt immense relief and regained confidence in her smile journey, now using a water flosser as recommended to keep her gums healthy around the aligners.
