4BLEEDING GUMS
Bleedinggums
Ok, now you tell me that you have bleeding gums. When you brush your teeth,your gums bleed. Now, surprisingly, this is caused by not enough brushingrather than too much. What’s happening is that there’s a natural build-upplaque and calculus on your teeth. Both of which are quite natural and normalbut they have to be removed. That’s why we brush our teeth.
Now, what’s happening is that you are not effectively moving plaque andcalculus. The calculus, I will remove. I’m going to scale your teeth to get offthe hard deposit the flossing and toothbrushing can’t remove. You have to getrid of the plaque yourself by brushing. And now I’m going to give you ademonstration of how to do this… ok, you are lucky because the infection is notsevere. Some people have a very severe infection which we call Vincent’s anginaand for that I have to give a drug which is called Flagyl, which is taken for afew days and it clears it up very quickly. Your condition is not as severe asthat, and with good brushing, once I’ve removed the calculus, we can restorethe gums to health. If you had a slightly more severe infection, I’d have toprescribe Corsodyl which is a very effective mouthwash. The only problem isthat it tends to discolor that rest of the teeth.
