Are my gums slightly bruised?!
Question: Are my gums slightly bruised!?
I ate some popcorn the other day and I always immediately floss afterwards to rid my mouth of the kernels!. Starting last night, the space between my last 2 teeth of both the left and right side on my top row have been hurting so bad that I can't really enjoy my food!. I brushed (and flossed as well as I could) them very well last night in hopes to wake up this morning feeling fine!. I tried to eat breakfast and just couldn't stand it!.

Answers:
Start rinsing with warm salt water, about 1teaspoon in an 8ounce glass as warm as you can stand the water!. That will promote healing and soothe your gums!. You probably aggitated your gums by flossing too hard or cut them with the floss, it can be a very irritating pain!. I've cut my gums flossing before, and I am a Dental Hygienist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
