Gum Surgery in CTM

Swollen gums can make brushing uncomfortable and eating unpleasant. Patients from CTM often describe gums that look puffy, feel sore to touch and bleed easily, sometimes around one tooth and sometimes across the whole mouth.

Swelling is the body's response to irritation or infection. Finding out what is causing it is the first step, because the treatment for general gum inflammation differs from the treatment for a local abscess or a lump.

Common Reasons for Gum Swelling in CTM Patients

• Gingivitis: Plaque along the gum line causes red, puffy gums that bleed easily.
• Periodontitis: Deeper infection with pockets, often with tenderness and a bad taste.
• Gum abscess: A localised, painful swelling with pus near one tooth.
• Gum overgrowth: Enlarged gum tissue that can partly cover the teeth.
• Gum lumps: Growths such as a fibroma or pyogenic granuloma that need diagnosis.

Easing Sore Gums Before Your Visit: Advice for CTM Residents

Keep brushing gently with a soft brush, as stopping allows more plaque to gather. Rinse with warm salt water after meals. Choose soft, lukewarm foods and avoid very spicy or hard items that can irritate the gums. These steps may ease discomfort for a short time, but they do not treat the cause, so arrange an examination rather than waiting for the swelling to pass.

Take note of whether the swelling is in one place or spread across the mouth, how long it has been there, and whether it gets worse at certain times. Mention any recent change in your medicines too. These details help our team narrow down the cause at your appointment.

How We Treat Swollen Gums for Patients from CTM

We examine the gums, measure the pockets and take an X-ray where needed. Swelling from gingivitis usually settles after professional cleaning and better home care. Deeper infection is treated with deep cleaning below the gum line or laser therapy of the pockets. An abscess is drained and cleaned. Overgrown tissue or a lump can be reshaped or removed, and lumps are examined further when required. Local anaesthesia keeps the area numb, and you receive clear aftercare advice.
