Question: My gum gets swollen frequentlyand when I brush it bleedsi have removed my tooth when I was a lil bit younger and I visited the dentistI was told to use hot water n salt for mouth wash but the gum still swells what can I do please
Answer: In addition to what my colleague saidthe commonest cause of bleeding gums remain plaque and calculus accumulation These are tooth deposits which may cover the gums surrounding the teeth causing persistent irritation of the gums  hence such affected gums commonly bleed on brushingThe ultimate solution is to visit any nearby dentist Such  a dentist will perform a procedure called SCALING AND POLISHING This helps make the teeth color whiter and ameliorates the bleeding gums conditionThe procedure is to be done every 6months anywhere you are in the world
PSThe loss of your tooth during childhood is not related to your gum condition
Best regards
