Why do my gums hurt?!
Question:
Why do my gums hurt?
I just went to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned. After a while my gums started to hurt.
Answers:
It is very normal that gums hurt after a dental cleaning. (http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...
If you had tartar before the dental cleaning, by removing the tartar, it creates a space between your gums and the tooth. This can be a bit sensitive, adding to the mild irritation caused by the dental instruments. (http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/conditi...
Give it a few days or a few weeks and the sensitivity will be gone.
You can rinse your mouth with water and salt, and it will be good for your gums.
