Crowns and gum inflammation?
Hey, I have inflamed gums (I have zirconium crowns) that unfortunately aren't going away easily. My dentist says I should brush better, which I do, but somehow it just won't go away. There's another reason for it. What else can I do? Has anyone had the same experience? I can't take it anymore. There has to be something else I can do. I suspect that since my tongue is yellowish from time to time, that's where bacteria are growing. I use a tongue cleaner every day.
Mostly it is true that oral hygiene is not enough. However, it is not enough to tell you that you need to clean better, but the ZA should give you help in the case. The cleaning technique is just as important as regular teeth cleaning.
The most common cause of gum inflammation is a collection of bacteria on the tooth surface. If these are not removed regularly by thorough dental care, the bacteria can multiply unhindered and lead to gum coating, even at the rim of the gum. This ensures that the gum is roasted, starts to bleed and ignites.
I hope your dentist has removed the existing dental pads and the dental stone.
You can even check the greenness of your oral hygiene by using dental color tablets. They make dental coatings visible; they are available in the pharmacy or in the drugstore market. If you’ve cleaned optimally, you don’t see any discolorations anymore.
If you brush your teeth 2x a day and clean the tooth interspaces with tooth silk and/or tooth interspace brushes (interdental brushes) 1x a day, this is generally enough and you will no longer have problems with the gum.
However, if you continue to have problems, get a second opinion and let the zircon crowns control accurately.

Thank you for your answer. 🙏 The crowns have made the doctors very well meant my dentist, with me many bacteria come together again and again. I’ve been taking the Chlorhexamed FORTE alcohol-free 0.2% since yesterday. I heard it was supposed to be very good. Hope it will disappear.
Very much.
No. Chlorhexamed is only supporting, but does not heal. In addition, chlorhexamed must not be used for so long. The A&O is and remains an optimal oral hygiene, then the bacteria have no chance.
Hav’s brought with you coloring tablets, mega helpful, there were some places to see where was not properly cleaned, is extremely practical.
Thank you for your advice. 🙏
Very welcome 🙂
Get a chlorhexidine-containing oral rinse, e.g. chlorhexamed. This should make it quicker.
Thank you very much, will I try and how long does it take to the inflammation path?
Chlorhexamed only supports, but does not cure gum inflammation.
Depends on how strong the inflammation is. A few days will last.
Chlorohexamed forte is higher dosed and helps correspondingly faster.
When the bacteria disappear, when the gum inflammation goes back. Clean very well and use the flushing.
