I have braces and my gums are almost starting to grow under them.To tell the complete truth, I did not brush my teeth as often as should but i got a wake-up call and know i am brushing my teeth form 10 min at a time but is there any way to help to make my gums stop growing
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint growing of gums after wearing braces is due to poor oral hygiene leading to inflammation and swelling of gums secondary to infection. You should consult an Oral Physician or your orthodontist and get evaluated and get Scaling done followed by antibiotics and painkillers and topical gum paint application. You should use specialized orthodontic brushes to brush your teeth and keep getting follow up done with your treating Orthodontist. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
