    Question:

    Hi,

    I am a girl of 17 (soon 18) years of age living in Aalborg.
    Recently told my dentist to me that I have gingivitis. Therefore, I've got a soft brush, flossing and the order to rinse the mouth 2 times daily in khlorhexidin in 14 days. I do all the above things, and have made it in 5 days. But my problem is that I think my gums look very irritated, it bleeds and a sore. In some places, particularly around the hjørnetønderne, it seems to be particularly bad. It is as if the gums in some places seems to have been “torn up” almost like an abrasion. It looks “raw”. I think it looks like my gums in some places have pulled back more, so more of the tooth is exposed. It is not particularly sore, besides when I brushes it, and it bleeds not so much as it has done.
    But I'm pretty concerned about whether I am doing something wrong. I'm not trying to brush, neither too hard or too soft. My concern is maybe a little bit unfounded, but I think a lot of it, and hope, therefore, that there is someone who can help me.

    Answer:

    Dear Lin,

    It sounds like your dentist is proven about your problems. If you are in doubt, then get him/her to look at you again.

    Hope you can use my answer.

    With kind regards

      Hi Lin, I'm a little unsure about the dates here on the page, but I think that my answer is relevant enough anyway. The new systems through the health insurance Denmark, which were classified by red, yellow, green scale will certainly do, that the dentists you are going to want to know your situation.
      I have even been categorized as ”yellow” since I have a little gingivitis in undermunden – You can only be green by having absolutely perfect teeth and gums. You should preferably have a smaller brush you can brush across the undermunden. http://www.tand-doktor.dk in copenhagen is good to explain the em brushing, but you should only brush down to the edge of the gums, so you get removed all the ”dirt” otherwise it can quickly put itself as tartar. And then also, remember to use dental floss once a day. If it slips in the hand of you, it may pay to tie a knot in it, then it is more tractable. What I have just written is a part of the informational briefing you get at the dentist today, under the new rules. If you have dental pain or bleeding gums, however, it is always a good idea to seek out a dentist.
