to Oraldene Mouthwash which is great and killed off whatever was lurking in my gum.

Use Oraldene, it worked for me though it might not clear up any infection. It is anti-bacterial though and apparently better than Listerine.
Ile go get some and give it a try,thanks for the advice,ime just donning a balaclava to go and talk with the girl in the chemist about it and see if they can recomend a bug killer,if she hands me an axe ile know its bad

LOL I know what you mean, mine was never bad at all but until it cleared up I found myself facing over people's shoulders when I was talking to them - either that or not talking at all

Made a trip to boots but couldnt find anyone that wanted to serve me :rollseyes:,in the end although i felt the obvious pull towards Listerine (Oh Clifford),i got some Oraldene medicated mouthwash & Gengigel medicated gum creme for under a tenner.
Even the wild life round my way was suffering,
Firstly Id suggest going to your dentist.
If it is a gum infection, you might need treatment which involves more than having antibiotics etc.
As an initial measure, you could buy some Corsodyl Mouthwash. Rinse with it and actually brush it into your gums. Dont over rely on it though, as it will stain your teeth long-term.
In general, you should get your teeth scaled (if you are prone to tartar buildup)
fairly regularly. (3/6/or12 monthly) Its usually bacteria-infested tartar that accumulates under the gumline, that starts the process of gum disease.
You can minimize the numbers of these bacteria yourself, by flossing daily and brushing well two or three times a day.
Hope this helps.
