I've noticed a thin film of deposit building up near my gums, and my gums seem to be receding a lot compared to before. Even though I brush gently twice a day and use mouthwash, the deposits keep coming back, and now my gums are much lower than they used to be. I first saw this last year, but brushing used to help now it's not enough. I'm really worried I might lose my teeth. Is there anything I can do to stop this without needing surgery or procedures that could make my teeth more sensitive?

View allI've got this minor swelling in my mouth, and while it's not causing me any pain, it's become quite noticeable. I haven't taken any medicine for it since it's not really bothering me in terms of chewing or giving me a toothache. My mouth doesn't feel dry either, but I'm still concerned. Should I be worried about this swelling, or is it something that might go away on its own?
You may be experiencing a minor dental issue. The noticeable swelling without pain could be due to a variety of reasons such as an infection or inflammation. I would recommend using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce the swelling. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help with any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, it is best to consult with a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've just had a root canal done and my doctor gave me Enzoflam for the pain. But today I ended up smoking three cigarettes and now the pain's back.
