Swollen gums with braces need help
I have metal braces and since I got them on my gums have been really swollen. Since my gums really did not hurt I thought they were like that due to the braces being put on. Now however, I have had my braces for six months and my gums never when down. They are still swollen. They also hurt sometimes when I brush or floss my teeth. Which I do daily. My orthodontic dentist never says anything about my gums being bad so I am not sure what to do. How can I make them go back down to normal ?
