Gum disease after surgery

Hello, again!

I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with gum disease with me.

I am five weeks post-op. At around three weeks I noticed my gums were puffy and

irritated. In just a few days they went to very swollen, cracked, and bleeding

even when I was not brushing.

I called my OS and the nurse said just to keep brushing with a soft brush. I

went for an appointment the following week (week 4) and my OS gave me Peridex

rinse.

I am now at week 5. My gums are still irritated but not as swollen as they

were. In fact, after the swelling went down my gums were actually recessed, a

couple milimeters, even! I couldn't believe it. I have read that this is

permanent (?).... I am so worried.

I go back to the OS tomorrow and to my regular dentist on Thursday for a

check-up and cleaning, but I was really wanting to hear from any of you who have

had a similar problem.

Thanks,

~Cathy

Didn't have that trouble, although I have long-standing perio

troubles. If it continues to bother you, ask your general dentist,

your ortho, your surgeon, or all of 'em, to refer you to a good

periodontist. Mine is a treasure, and has helped more than I can tell

you.

Hydrogen peroxide also helped me, or Gly-oxide, as did fluoride gel

and rinse...

Good wishes..
