OUCH! gum/toothache?!?!
Question:
OUCH! gum/toothache?!?
i'm 11 and have all adult teeth but in this one place in between two teeth it hurts a lot. when i bite down or floss it hurts. it's been going on since i lost the previous baby tooth. any ideas on what this is? it's a sharp pain...
Answers:
It could be that you have a piece of the baby tooth root left in your gum, and when you bite down, it pokes the gum. It can be really painful and your gum can get all puffy and sore.
Have you told your parents about the pain? Ask your mom or dad make you an appointment with your dentist. They'll be able to take care of you!
