How to get rid of gingivitis and how long will it take?

I’ve been normally brushing twice daily and it is really painful! My gums hurt really badly and they start to bleed a lot. After I brush I use a mouth wash called Savacol I think, kind of like Listerine, It numbs the pain a bit but, I’ve been using it twice daily also and I can’t taste any food!
It hurts when I eat and I can’t taste anything!
Is this the right way to get rid of Gingivitis? Or is there an easier and simpler way?

Hi Teaforlove,
You may have a gum infection called acute ulcerative gingivitis.
You really should go to a dentist to get it checked. It is treatable, but the best thing to do is get your own dentists advice.
And savacol contains chlorhexidine, which is known to affect taste!
In general, the best way to get rid of gingivitis is proper tooth brushing, flossing and then use of a mouthwash.
Hope this helps,
Barry

Along with brushing and use of mouth wash, also do flossing to remove the deposits which are present interdentally. If there is swelling of gums present, then you can do warm saline rinses to reduce the gum swelling. Take nutritious diet and maintain good oral hygiene. Gingivitis occurs because of plaque and calculus deposits in relation to teeth so you can also get dental cleaning done to remove the deposits present.
