Gum swelling and running out of time

[Gordon]

It should continue to settle in as the gingiva adjust to the new shape.

 

[Mayo]

@Gordon its still swollen! Is that bad?

 

[Gordon]

No, not yet, it's early days. Give it another few weeks.

 

[Mayo]

It still looks the same. Not better or worse.

 

[Gordon]

Is it bleeding on brushing or flossing?

 

[Mayo]

Yes, when flossing just a little on one side. You can see from the picture the area where it bled after flossing. It was just a tiny amount. No bleeding when brushing. At least not that I notice. I can pay attention to it tonight.

It pretty much is the same level of inflammation and place where it was bleeding before with the temporary.

 

[Gordon]

It could be something simple like a little bit of cement left under the gum there. I'd get another dentist to have a look (if I remember right, the one who made the crown is retired now?)
