The single best thing you can do is brush and floss your teeth regularly.  That more than anything will help your gums.  \n\nI do have one treasure that I can recommend to you.  When I was pregnant I had a lot of trouble with bleeding gums and my midwife recommended a terrific mouthwash that really made a difference in 1 week.  EcoDent Ultimate Daily Rinse.  The bleeding really went down and my midwife said that that was a good sign that my gums were doing better.\n\nThere's a website on the bottle here:  www.eco-dent.com - though I got it at Whole Foods.\n\nPeace!

This depends on what caused it to tear and split.  If it is due to an injury it should heal on its own.  If it is torn due to neglect of proper care, then you may need to see a dentist and have them diagnose the cause of the problem.  This could be a chronic or acute infection that needs immediate care to prevent tooth loss.

How about a different angle, to actually REVERSE gum disease. I suppose few will believe this, but does it matter ?. Not to me. Make up your own mind. I agree it may not be acceptable to most, but I tell you now, this is EXACTLY TRUE.\n\nI have suffered from bleeding gums since the early 1980s. In recent years no matter flossing hygienist work, etc, not much improvement. The stated the infetion foci were deep under the gum, managed at best, but no way out. Resigned to blood every time I brushed or spit.\n\nThen last summer my wife told me how she met an elderly Japanese man on a flight from the Far East, who had the most attractive teeth she had seen in an old person. Struck up a halting conversation, and soon, the ice broken she asked him, were his teeth real teeth. He laughed out loud, and pulled on them with both hands as a gag. He told her he was 92 !. Lean and quite athletic, looked more like 70 maybe. Anyway, she took his advice to heart. On alternate days lunch we eat one julienned RAW ONION sprinkled with vinegar and mixed in rice or soup (the heat is too much otherwise), the even days we crush 4 / 5 garlic cloves in a tablespoon of olive oil and add to veggies or whatever else's lunch. We also -wife and me-had to give up all sweets and sugars. NOT THAT EASY.\n\nWell, gum disease ALL GONE in a metter of eight months. We have lost a lot of blubber (me, about 10 Kgs). The dentist popped his eyes: "what have you been doing ?". I sent this info to a blog. Read the April 27 2006 entry "Sugar, Sugar". I am pleased beyond words with this.

Your'e clean Baby; a new start.  Yahooo!!!!!\n\nAdvice OK here goes-\nOK as soon as you can in a day or two start brushing the gums.  Buy 10 rolls of DENTAL TAPE (not dental floss), Spread em out.  Your desk, your car, at the office, tape a pack to the remote, tape one the your monitor, the eliptical, etc. . .  Out of sight out of mind.  Start flossing,  When you go for your 1 month evaluation which I'm sure your dentist scheduled you for.  You will smile he will poke your gums and there wont be any blood!  whoopee.  \n\nDental tape is great its thick so it don't break easy. Floss is too thin it breaks and is too thin to get through  those tight spots. \n\nCongradulations on your clean start,  keep up the good work!\nGood Luck,

Take good care of them.  Improvement can be seen from brushing twice daily, flossing once (usually before bed), and maybe using a mouthwash or anticavity rinse.  If you already do these things, maybe consult your dentist.

That sounds normal.  Usually you will see a pinkish/yellowish looking gel-like substance.  This is the clot and granulation tissue forming.   This immature connective tissue will eventually completely fill in and cover the socket with new gum tissue.  Try to keep this area clean and free of food debris!  As long as you are not experiencing any pain, swelling or bleeding, I wouldn't worry!  I hope that this proves helpful!

Warm salt water 10 times a day (or more).  Warm tea bags applied to site and gentle pressure to reduce pain and inflammation.  Do not pick at the site or eat anything tiny (like rice or corn).  Eat healthy, take vitamins, get plenty of rest.    Take Advil or alieve around the clock (if able to due to medical issues) even if it doesn't hurt.  This will reduce the swelling and reduce healing time.\n\nHydrogen peroxide is a tool seam dentists use in school to tighten the gums, but it usually causes more problems than benefits, so avoid this old trick.

Gingivitis big time maybe - gargle with Listerine, brush your teeth as it stimulates the gums.  See a dentist or doctor.  You may not be brushing at all or brushing the wrong way.

if its a loose tooth, make sure to pull it straight up or it might grow back in crooked. if its not loose then you need to go to the dentist.

It could be a scab.  I get those once every few years.  Best thing to do is to see or talk to a dentist.

Sounds like a really bad case of gingivitis to me.   You probably needs to rinse with a salt water solution several times a day.  Use a soft tooth brush.  See your dentist again.

The simple answer to your question is yes, if your gumline is receeding then you have gum disease, and if you don't get the right treatment the gum disease will spread.  Be kind to yourself to your teeth and above all your gums, for without your gums; your teeth won't have anything to secure them in place.  Nothing beats your own natural teeth, not unless you think dentures are a fashion statement!)

Because your gums might have the early stages of, THE GINGIVITIS! AHHHH, RUN FOR THE HILLS,(and buy some listerine and floss.)

Sounds as if you may have periodontal disease.  Get in to see your dentist as soon as possible for an evaluation and necessary treatment.  Also, make sure you have good oral hygiene by brushing 2-3 times per day and flossing at least once per day and always see your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and exam.  The more you brush and floss you will notice your gums begin to stop bleeding.  Hopefully you only have the first stage of gingivitis which is reversible with a good cleaning at your dental office so that tarter can be removed and with good oral hygiene maintenance.  Additional treatment will be needed for more advanced stages of periodontal disease.

Of course. Just imagine your teeth as a shoe. Long period of wear and tear will cause the base of your shoes to be thinned out and eventually you can't wear them anymore. It's the same case for your teeth. If you brush too hard, you can brush away the gums. And it is IRREVERSIBLE. You can't get 'new' gums back. \nYour gums are like a jacket to the tooth. Once stripped of the 'jacket', your tooth becomes mobile and eventually fall out or pulled out. Take good care of your gums. \nChoose a toothbrush with soft bristles, or better still, use an electronic toothbrush so you won't need to apply pressure. Remember! You are not scrubbing the floor, you are brushing your teeth! =)
