Can prendisone help gum inflammation.

Yes and no: If you are taking it for other reasons it will definitely suppress the normal inflammatory response to bacteria in your gums. It will not eliminate the disease however. Symptom suppression is not the same as disease management. Brushing flossing and professional cleaning are going to address the real cause of the inflammation.

Yes: Prednisone is a steroid and steroids are anti-inflammatory agents, so it can help with gingival inflammation. However, you should also increase your brushing and flossing and maintain it to prevent further gingival inflammations from occurring.

Symptomatic relief: One of the symptoms of gum disease is inflammation. If gums are in fact diseased, steroids will only help reduce swelling until you come off the Meds, then the swelling comes back. You really need to see Dentist or preferably Periodontist to determine and eliminate cause of the swelling.

Not indicated: treating the cause of the inflammation works 100% of the time so steroids are not indicated. Just remove the bacterial plaque and inflammation improved.

Not recommended: Use of corticosteroids, such as prednisone or dexamethasone, can lead to the loss of bone that supports your teeth. Not recommended.

Source of problems?: Better to treat the source not symptoms. Must determine reason you have the gum inflammation...

Gum: Yes, but what are you using it for? There may be a lot of other things that will help without being that strong!
