Under supervision: Prednisone must be used under physician's or dentist's supervision. If practitioner has reviewed your full health history and then prescribed the steroid, it is "safe" within the parameters of appropriate use of the medication. Note also that gum inflammation is usually caused by bacterial infection. Please see your Dentist about your gum disease
