What's wrong with me?

Over the last three days my tounge and my gums have been quite sore. I have no back (chewing) teeth. It's this area that sore to touch. I've been using an antiseptic mouthwash and although its helped a little it hasn't got rid of it. My tounge does't look any different than usual, but the gums that hurt have gone very white.

Anyone got any ideas what's up?

I'm booked to see my dentist in four weeks time. Cant go any sooner, and my doctor is rubbish.

I had all my back teeth (top and bottom) removed a while back. I have always since a child suffered with my teeth. Yet ive brushed them everyday and flossed. I was never born with Adult teeth so my teeth that I do still have are still milk teeth and im 29 now.

sounds like an infection in the gum which you might need antibiotics for. Most dentists even NHS ones have emergency spaces and I really think you should try and get one. Other that that try taking painkillers every 4 hours for at least 3 days, keep them in your system, and keep gargling with the mouthwash. Have you caught your gum on something sharp, or eaten something that might have scratched your gum? Make sure, however sore it is to do, floss as much as you can because plaque causes bleeding and pain. Hope you feel better soon.
