Hi I had to get deep root cleaning which involved a few sessions (and lots of injections) due to gum disease because of smoking also. Don't know if it's as serious as yours but it was all covered by medical card..
 
thanks paddy , it does say on medical card site it covers some gum treatments so ?? bit relieved now , eeh do the treatments injections hurt ?? never been afraid of dentists till now !! gums are quite sore ,
 
Hi Messedaround, nope not at all, they don't go in as deep as they would for extraction plus if they're any good they will numb all your gums first with something which will take the sting out of it. Nothing to worry about really.. After that make sure and floss regularly and properly, they told me that was my problem. Ask them to show you how to do it right because I was doing it wrong the whole time. good luck with it.
 
yep all stocked up on the new weird lookin floss thingys teepees or somthin gums are still to sore to do it properly , gleaming white teeth and red raw bleeding gums , oh the pain !! gently brushing 2wice a day , cordosyl m-wash then the gel and flossing as best i can but still pumpin blood , aaahhh

Yep the cordosyl is the right stuff alright and the new floss thingies are great! The pain and blood should ease in a day or two.
