How do I get rid off of this swallen and irritating feeling I have on my gums?

on my right upper side I have a 4 teeth dental bridge...this irritation can last up to 2 hours...I was in a prosess to change dentist cause last month he over charged me...for a cleaning he asked me fot $170.00 and I am planning never to go back to him....because even his behavior somethimes gets very neurotic and strange...Therefore I have to wait after the holiday to get to someone else and check the bridge I have with this irritation swallen gums I have...but for now WHAT SHOULD I DO? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Clean and floss the area well and do regular salt water rinsing.

Reply:Do you floss under the bridge? If not, get a product like BridgeAid or Floss Threaders... you thread the floss into them like a needle %26amp; thread. It makes flossing soooo much easier!





Warm salt water rinses is a good idea... a couple of times a day.





The fee for a general cleaning in our office is less than $100. If patients need to come back for extra scalings due to alot of 'gunk' under the gums, it's an additional fee.





Best of luck!
