Gums swelling and receding

2017-09-22 09:52:41
I bruised the gum over the front two teeth (centre, top) nearly two weeks ago after falling flat down on face. Initially few days there was swelling and bleeding, which has now stopped but i can see the gum receding upwards from one side, making a deep U shape cavity and Im afraid the tooth might dislodge if this doesn't stop

You should have visited a dentist on that day itself. Nonetheless you should not delay your visit any further and plan for an appointment as soon as possible so that the exact condition of the teeth and gums and the bone can be evaluated and the treatment plan can be delineated for you. Modern dentistry itself relies on the fact that we will make every effort to save a tooth and extraction is kept as the last option, especially at your age. But if the patient does not visit the dentist in time there can be Irreversible damage leaving extraction as the only option available. Regards.
