What's wrong with my gums?!


Question:

What's wrong with my gums?

yeah i'm probably dying of some aweful disease but whatever.

basically, whenever i brush my teeth my gums hurt afterwards and they look really red and theres a line of puffy light pink around my teeth. it just started happening? i think i should consult a dentist when I have the time... but meanwhile what do you think this could be?


Answers:

you are right you need to see a dentist. until you can get an appointment you should brush regularly with a soft toothbrush, use a good grade mouthwash-one that contains chlorahexyl-a word something like that!! or a salt water rinse at least 3 times a day. you really do need to see a dentist though or you may end up with completely rotten gums and losing teeth. that is one of the worse case scenarios but who is to say that it is not where you are heading. please see a dentist. best wishes. p.s i dont think it is a deadly disease just a touch of gum disease which a dentist will fix up no worries at all.
