Question: PLEASE HELP EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Ok I am a 12 year old girl and I think that I have gingivitis!. I do not have braces!. My gums are sore and are blood red!. On my bottom layer of teeth, The skin goes up all the way to the tip of my tooth and all of my teeth bleed when I floss!. Also, on the bottom gum of the front of my mouth slightly to the right the is like a root or something starting to push out, (I have lost all of my baby teeth) and it is extremely painful!. Is it gingivitis or something else!. I am going to the dentist on Monday (hopefully) but,,,, it hurts NOW!. I brush and floss twice a day everyday!.I will answer any questions if asked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Yes - mostly you have gingivitis - however hormones may also be playing a part in your current condition!. Brush with an extra soft brush directly into the gum tissues at a 45 degree angle to the tooth!. With the gums as swollen as you describe flossing is not recommended as you can easily cause 'floss cuts' from improperly flossing - ask your dentist or hygienist to show you how to brush and floss correctly!. Meantime you can rinse your mouth with salt water to reduce swelling!. One teaspoon of salt for 8 ounces of warm water!. Dissolve well and swish as often as you like to soothe the tissues!. If it is still very painful before you see your dentist, have mom get you some Chloraseptic rinse to numb the tissues!.
As for the unknown 'root' or tooth - I cannot speculate - your dentist will let you know what it is!.

sounds like you have gum disease which isn't very good as your only 12, i would advise you to get an oppointment at your dentist right away, in the meantime get some mouth wash that speacialises in this like cordosyl and some sensedine tooth paste!. Your dentist will put you on a course of antibiotics for a few weeks and you will be all better!.

Going to the dentist is a great idea!. He/she will give you proper care and treatment!. In the meantime go to a drug store and get a small bottle of clove oil and some Q-tips!. Spread some clove oil on your gums and it will make them feel cool and a little numb and provide some relief!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it sounds as if it may be gingivitis!. It is good that you are going to the dentist!. In the mean time when you brush use a soft tooth brush!. For the pain I would try baby teething gel, it will numb the area!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
