I had gum inflammation above one of my crowns that never seemed to go away no matter what I did. I floss and brush twice daily, sometimes brush more often, but to no avail. I was advised to use Corsodyl and within 3 days the inflammation had almost disappeared. After 5 days it had gone completely and all my gums looked healthier. I didn't notice any staining of my teeth, but my tongue had some brownish staining and felt rather numb.

This is exactly what your body was trying to prevent by swelling the gums. And what it was trying to warn you about by making your gums bleed and feel sore. By this we mean that if tartar has already built up along your gum line it needs to be removed. The only way to do this safely and effectively is at the dentist! I am writing to thank you for helping my chronic periodontitis, which I have suffered for 15 years. My dentist says I am now virtually clear. But… Gengigel is not a substitute for good oral hygiene. You must brush teeth correctlytwice a day for two minutes, and also flossto clean the inter-dental spaces that no brush can hope to reach. It does work and dentists do recommend it. However, it can stain teeth and cause taste disturbances and this does put people off using it. What’s more, you may find you are sensitive to the moisturizing ingredient and experience irritation of the gums (though this is not common).
