Dental problem
I'm feeling like my front lower tooth are pushing each other and gums are also swollen. What could be the cause?
I visited dentist and she told that it is gigngivitis and I should go for scaling. But scaling then causes sensitivity in teeth forever. My friends who did scaling long back are still suffering from sensitivity.
Is there another way to treat this? I'm worried and don't want to take decision in hurry.
First of all scaling doesn't cause sensitivity if done the right way! Minimal sensitivity could be there for 2-3 days but it can be taken care of. Believe me scaling is required minimum once a year otherwise it can lead to other complications as well.
Rest till the time a clinical evaluation is not done very difficult to explain the treatment plan.
Next Steps
Go ahead with scaling , don't worry!
