why does my gum hurt so much and is this normal?!
Question: Why does my gum hurt so much and is this normal?
Answers:
I'm not 100% sure but it doesn't sound too serious. When my teeth were coming through I had a similar sort of thing and it literally throbs, but it's just the position they're growing in and your gums are not used to it...it should settle down soon, just make sure it doesn't become inflamed when you brush. If you are really concerned then you should probably go to the dentist.
There is a possibility that you have an abscess, which can kill you, talk to your dentist. (that would be if it was a bump that felt like it was full of puss.) Not trying to scare you or anything...
