Floss a lot. That's what I do. It makes Your gums to stop bleeding after awhile. The swollen part will go away.

The dilantin ive been taking has messed up my teeth , take prednisone for my empysema been taking for over4 years now has given Me drug induced ostioperosis. Been taking calcium and vitD3.And reclass iv in hospital over a year ago.no real trouble so far.

hmm I will have to ask my neurologist when I go again in May. I should have a bone density next year again when I am sixty I had my last one I think when I was 50 of 52 , then I was told I had the bones of a 24 year old. My teeth on the other hand are being destroyed by what the medications do to mouth, they rot at the gum line , I need them all pulled out I think . I haven't had dental care in 23 years because I was disabled at age 36 , and have been on SSDI / medicare. I have contacted the dental association of Florida and they are sending me paperwork to get care pro bono , there is a waiting list the woman in Tallahassee told me this yesterday , but I need help big time.
