The best way to rid yourself of the pain is to get rid of the gum disease. Clean the gum line with a nice soft brush and floss, and massage the gums to increase blood flow. Tf the disease is too far advanced you may need treatment by a periodontist; this is a dentist who specializes in gum disease. Gum disease is progressive and without treatment can lead to bone loss and loose teeth.

A temporary pain relief measure is to use cloves, not cloves of Garlic, but the kind that are found in the spice section of the supermarket. Hold in the mouth and gently suck one or two for 10 minutes. Spit out and gently rinse the mouth with warm water.

Managing gum disease is all about daily plaque control - essentially sound oral hygiene. Brush and floss every day. Your dentist or oral hygienist may recommend fluoride toothpaste or tartar reduction rinses. Colgate Total is approved by the FDA for helping to prevent advanced gum disease by reducing plaque and tartar.

What is a blood clot on gums caused by?

Although I am not a doctor, I always thought that blood clots coming out of gums result from congested blood in the gums. I think if gums are massaged then blood will be circulated and extra congested blood will go away. Sees this should be a frequent task and not a one-time every once and while.

What is that disease that is on your gum?

No one can tell you without an examination. See your dentist and she will tell you if you need to (1.) see a periodontist (gum doctor), (2.) treat yourself with the general dentist's and/or dental hygienist's help, or (3.) see a medical doctor for a condition that needs medical treatment. A very common disorder of the gums is called gingivitis, which means inflammation of the gums. It is often caused by ineffective dental hygiene practices, but can have other causes. It may require antibiotics for a bacterial infection. Your dentist should be consulted, regardless of what the disease or condition is, for proper diagnosis and treatment or other recommendations.
