Hello sir, I am tobacco addict and before three months I went to dentist for removing tobacco stain and after cleaning I saw my gums of two teeth pulled down and looking red so I ask to dentist why my gums r pulled down or looking red is my gums were bleeding then dentist said to me no your gums was not bleeding it's because removing dirt and stains then now I am feeling very pain in my two teeth that gums have pulled down. 1. It is necessary to bleed gums during removing tobacco stain through scaling? 2. Why my gums have pulled down? 3.suggest medication for cure the pain of my teeth.

It will heal by itself. Where you feel gum soreness apply anabel/dologel maintain oral hygiene. Rinse with lukewarm water and use chlorhexidine mouthwash half an hour after brushing. Visit doctor again to see if there are any permanent changes due to tobacco. Quit tobacco. Or else chances of cancer.

Yes it often bleeds while scaling please visit a gum specialist and get the treatment for pull down gums. Don't worry, your gums can be treated and medication alone won't help you much.

May be your gums were already pulled down but due to staining of tobacco you were not able to notice it. Yes bleeding occurs in many cases if there is gigivitis or periodontitis along with satin. Use mouth wash regularly and apply ornigred gel on gums twice daily for 1 week.

Dear Lybrate user, 1. Gums can bleed during scaling, especially if they a swollen (Your dentist has done the the right thing) 2. In your case gum recession has most likely occured due to chemicals from tobacco and related material and also due to unhygiene 3. Stop using tobacco (Most important!) or the damage in your mouth will continue. It may even lead to Oral Cancer. If you can't stop tobacco habit consider taking help from an oral medcine specialist nearby you. Keep a follow-up. Consider visiting rehab centre for deaddiction if needed. 4. Visit a periodontist and get treatment for gum recession, swollen gums and sensitive teeth.
