My gums on upper left side are swollen and one bleeds but no plaque. Dentist pointed them out and said to use new brush but nothing else. I use dental floss usually once per day. Of note, this side of face had radiation tx for parotid cancer in 2000. Since I've lost my hearing in left ear. Lip is slightly swollen. I've used Bacitracin ointment and white vinegar on site. What else can I do? Really appreciate this as have no dental coverage. I just had my 6 month teeth cleaning. My gums on upper left side are swollen and one bleeds but no plaque.
