tylonol or other otc pain reliver is good to help with the pain try a childrens motrin it might work better it will help the with the swelling. You can speak with your dentist or hygenist maybe request a differnt hygenist next time.
Reply:Healthy gums don't bleed or feel tender after flossing. Because your daughters have braces they probably don't floss regularly at home - it takes ages and is a true pain! You can help them by buying a Waterpik Cordless Irrigator. This is a rechargeable item that is used in the shower to send a pulsating jet of water around the teeth. The water massages the gums and flushes out any debris.

Children with braces probably need to have a professional cleaning every 3 or 4 months also.
Reply:yes i would call and complain. use childrens tylenol for the pain and swelling. the lady who did it should have said something about the gums if they are too sensitive and swelling could occur. i would go back and talk to the doctor personally
Reply:Since your daughter probably is NOT flossing daily that is why her gums are swollen and hurt. The dental hygienist did NOTHING wrong.


Just get your girls to floss daily and brush frequently and then their gums wont hurt.


Not flossing daily means 1) bleeding 2) pain or swelling (especially if they have braces) and 3) all means gingivitis (aka bacteria trapped under the gum line).


So no do not complain. You will end up looking bad. Have your girls swish with alcohol free mouthwash, gently brush their teeth and have them gently floss nightly.
Reply:The swollen and bloody gums are signs of not flossing daily. The more they floss the less it becomes, and with braces it is very important. I would not really complain however as a mom I know when your children hurt that it can be upsetting to us moms. We tend to want to protect. I would maybe call the doctor and ask him what you can be doing to help the swelling and let him know your concerned, this way it lets him know that no one went over with you why these conditions were happening and gives him a chance to help you better understand as well as voicing how it made you feel. Good Luck

Reply:Try ibuprofen because its used to lower the swelling and pain. Also use a canker sore medicine on the bleeding gums. Make sure your daughter is flossing daily because what just happened to her is either a sing of not flossing daily or of sensitive gums.
