I think I have gum erosion !!!?!
Question: I think I have gum erosion !!!?
It all started yesterday when I felt a slight pain in my lower right canine tooth,but today it was even more painful,whenever I open my mouth,cold air causes this pain,water,sweets etc...
when I checked this tooth in the mirror,I found the gum was quite worn away more than the other tooth, so I searched on the net,and found out it may be caused due to "overaggressive" brushing,and I think I "overaggressive" brush on daily basis...
so what should I do besides going to a dentist and/or replacing my toothbrush with a softer one...
will it help,If I stop brushing at all for a couple of days ?..
thanks

Answers:
Just brush gently until the tenderness fades. Use sensodyne for the tooth sensitivity and floss! The lost gum will never come back but u can save the rest of ur gums by taking care of them from now on! Don't stop brushing.
do you know anything about braces!
maybe ur gum swelll or had infection? do ur teeth had hole etc?
