A member asked:
Since brushing and flossing my teeth for a week the bleeding has stopped and gums look healthy and pink does this mean the infection is clearing up ?

Yes: The lack of bleeding and pink color is a good sign. To be sure, your dentist or Periodontist can do a painless probing of the gums to make sure they are healing properly.
