Why do my gums feel sore?

Do you have pain in your gums? It could be the result of a new toothbrush, a sensitive tooth, or an infection. But it could also be something more serious. In fact, if you notice any kind of discomfort in your gums, then it’s best to see your dentist right away.

If your gums are causing you pain, there’s likely a problem.

It’s easy to brush off a little bit of pain as just an odd occurrence, but gum pain is often the first sign of a larger issue.

If your gums are red, swollen, sore, and/or bleed when you brush or floss, you may have gum disease.

Gum disease happens when plaque builds up on the surface of your teeth and underneath the gums.

Plaque is a sticky substance that forms on the surfaces of our teeth when we don’t brush them properly or frequently enough. When plaque isn’t removed from our mouths regularly, it can harden into tartar and cause bacteria to grow in our mouths – leading to gum disease.

There are two types of gum disease: Gingivitis and Periodontitis

Gingivitis is gum inflammation and usually occurs before periodontitis. When caught early, gingivitis can be reversed. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, which is a more serious form of dental disease.

Symptoms of gingivitis

Gingivitis is a common condition that affects many people at some point in their lives. The main symptom of gingivitis is bleeding gums.

Other symptoms may include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums.
  • Plaque buildup on the surface of teeth and gums.
  • Bad breath.
  • Receding gums.

How to prevent gingivitis:

  • Brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes each time using an electric toothbrush or manual toothbrush with soft bristles.
  • Floss before brushing, at least once in the morning and once before bed.
  • Regularly visit the dentist for checkups and professional cleanings.

If it is not treated, gingivitis can result in periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease known as periodontitis or “periodontal disease.”

Symptoms of periodontitis:

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that can destroy the bone around teeth, leading to tooth loss. Periodontitis is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in American adults and can be prevented by practicing good oral hygiene habits and seeing a dentist regularly.

Symptoms of periodontitis include:

  • Gums that bleed easily.
  • Red, swollen, or tender gum tissues.
  • Gums that pull away from your teeth.
  • Pus between your teeth and gums.
  • Loose teeth.
  • Sensitive teeth.
  • Changes in the natural bite alignment.
  • Persistent bad breath.

How to prevent periodontitis:

Like gingivitis, you can prevent periodontitis with regular dentist visits, professional cleanings, brushing your teeth twice daily, flossing, and practicing good oral hygiene habits.

Early treatment can prevent long-term damage.

If you are experiencing sore gums, it’s important to see a dentist right away. The sooner treatment is begun, the better your results will be. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to bone loss and tooth loss.

    FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS

    Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes.

    On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr.

    So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.

    My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States, Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr Ughulu I will testify about his good work on the internet.
