How a dentist treats common dental problems at home during lockdown
I would advise if you are seeing blood when brushing to ensure you up your daily brushing to two minutes each time and pay particular attention to those areas that are bleeding. You should also be flossing every day to keep gums clean and healthy.
If your gums are really painful and are looking bright red you should still be ensuring you keep them clean by continuing to brush them. You may take painkillers to ease any symptoms and use mouthwashes which are developed to keep gums healthy such as Corsodyl.''A chipped tooth usually isn’t something to worry about too much.
'If your tooth is cracked however, this is more worrying as it may have cracked in two pieces and may need emergency extraction. I would advise phoning your dentist first for advice and, if no luck with them, then call 111 to see if you can get an emergency appointment somewhere to have it extracted.'How to treat a broken filling or fallen crown at home
'If you have a lost or broken filling or crown then I would advise you buy a temporary dental kit online or from your local pharmacy to fill the hole or gap temporarily until you see your dentist. 'The cement in these kits should work on both a loose crown and a broke filling. But ensure you see your dentist as soon as you are allowed to get this remedied.'
