Sore Gums?!
Question: Sore Gums!?
For the past 2 days I've had a really sore spot on my gums between my back two molars on the top right side of my mouth!. It hurts to floss and there's been a pain, not a sharp pain, but a weird kind of pain that comes and goes!. What could it be and what could I do to help it!? I just was at the dentists maybe 2 weeks ago so I feel like it's nothing too bad, I just got x-rays done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Occasionally the gums are just sensitive, although sight unseen and not being a dentist couldn't tell you!. However, when my gums hurt I have found that chewing a little Asprin tablet then holding over the area provides relief!. Warning: never hold the Asprin over the gum for more than a minute!. Otherwise, you could get Asprin burn!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Sounds like an infection!. Go back to the dentist!. It makes no difference that you were there just two weeks ago because this obviously started after that!. Swish several times a day with hot salt water!. That may cure it, but it is probably better to get it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
