Hi, I learnt a few weeks ago I had an early stage of gingivitis. For the last three weeks, I have been brushing diligently (after every meal) and flossing at least once a day. As a result, my gums are becoming pinker which I know is a good sign. However, they are still slightly swollen, but on close inspection I am fairly sure that they are gradually coming down. I think this is thanks in part to a lot of supplements I have been taking. For example, on some days I will brush my gums with pastes made of vitamin E. On on other days, I will brush my gums with pastes made of vitamin C (non-acidic). I have also started taking 3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day because it has omega-3 (inflammatory actions). I was just wondering if anyone could give me advice or tips to help reduced the swelling further?
Also, for some reason, some of my front teeth started making a clicking noise. That is, when I touch the back of my top front teeth with my tongue they make a slight clicking noise. This is the first time it has happened. Is this anything to worry about? I have been reading around on the net, and it has happened to some people when they floss more often.
