swollen
Hi ladies...i am 24weeks1day...and i have been experiencing super swollen gums and bleeding! It is ridiculously annoying and I dnt know what to do. My insurance isnt effective until Sep.1st so i cant go to the dentist yet. I've been brushing and flossing and mouthwash 2 times a day everyday and it still doesnt help. I was wondering of anybody else is experiencing this and if there are any other remedies to use until I can go to the dentist?
I remembered spitting up blood after flossing and my gums were swollen the day after. The man is on antiretrovirals and says he has an undetectable viral load in his blood. I had spit out what was in my mouth following the sex. Now I'm having random short nerve pains all over my body a week and a half later and will get tested tomorrow...just wondering if anyone had any comments about this as it's worrying me greatly and making me very regretful about being so careless.
Had sinus sugery 4 days ago (fixed deviated septum, right turbinate reduction, sinus drainage hole enlarged). Gum pain is a lot worse than the sinus surgery pain in nose/sinuses. General anesthesia caused 3 ulcers, the one on gum-line hasn't healed, very painful, seemed to be the trigger. (Some numbing, tingling under top teeth from surgery but can deal with that.
For over a year I have been experiencing sore and sometimes inflamed and swollen gums. I have seen both my dentist and hygienist and we have been unable to solve the problem or what is causing it. The pain is now there more often than not now, whereas before it was intermittent. I have not managed to pin point what may cause the symptoms.
Gingivitis is classified as any inflammation of the gingiva (gums) redness, bleeding, swollen margins, with little or no bone loss. Gingivitis can be reversed with proper home care and yes by home care I mean flossing. I can not begin to stress enough how important flossing is and how rarely it is done by patients. With 2 works of emaculate home care brushing for 2 min 2-3x a day and flossing gingivitis can be reversed.
I am not a dentist but from my own experience, that could be from an infection of the gums or plaque build up. I would see my dentist. It could also be periodontal disease.
In gingivitis there are swollen gums, bad breath, easily bleeding of the gums during flossing or brushing and gums may appear red-colored. Scurvy can lead to swollen bleeding gums, weakness, joint pains and muscle pains. In periodontitis there is soft tissue and bone deterioration with tender swollen gums. These are only few possibilities. For exact diagnosis and treatment a dental examination is necessary. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and take care!
I went to the denist not long ago and got a couple cavities filled, before i went in my teeth felt fine, but after the filling i eat and my gums hurt really bad. I called the dentist to tell them the problem and they said to wash my mouth with salt water and I have been but they still hurt anytime I eat anything. What can I do about it??

I have an area of my gums, upper left side, right beside a crown, where it swelled up. It's been swelled up for about two weeks now. There's no pain in or around the crown or the swollen gums, little discomfort, just a little swollen area about the size of a small pea, that's covering about half of the tooth with the crown. As far as I know it wasn't brought on by eating hot food.
Not to worried about that, what does worry me is now my gums are killing me. I cannot even tough them with a brush. No blood as of yet from them. Is this the last of the infection retreating?
Injury to the gums from any cause, including overly vigorous brushing or flossing of the teeth, can also cause gingivitis. This presents with bleeding gums, bright red or red-purple appearance to gums, tenderness, mouth sores, and swollen gums. Have this checked by your dentist for proper evaluation. It is important that the inflammation is reduced. Take care and do keep us posted.
Your gums appear pink and healthy. They are a bit swollen though. Have you been brushing and flossing the area gently? Don't brush or floss the area too hard otherwise you'll irritate it some more and make it swollen again. When was your last dental checkup and cleaning?
What kind of elixir are you using?
So I noticed that my gums are really swollen and bleeding a lot and I have been trying so hard to take good care of my teeth. Brushing 3x a day and flossing every day. I know I don't have cavities because I have always taken great care of my teeth. But my morning breath is DEADLY!!! Like I yawned this morning and my fiance almost threw up haha its gross.
I am not sure that the pockets that are 4mm. can be eliminated but I think they are maintainable.I certainly would not like to see them get any deeper.Your age comes into play here. The younger you are the more aggressive I would be to try to eliminate these pockets.Your perio condition should be closely monitored.
I have 4 on my lips, 4 on my gums and 2 on my tongue... my gums are swollen and my tonsils have many white spots on them... i still struggle through eating even ice cream and have lost about 10 pounds (which is not a good thing when you have very little to lose)... i understand that it's a viral infection, but since it's lasted 6 days and tomorrow will complete the full week and my throat and mouth have not improved much i'm getting a little concerned... any help?
He confirmed that the gums are irritated and not correct in the area over the left teeth and he told me to continue brushing and flossing for a few weeks and to massage the gums over this area daily. He gave me an instrument and showed me how to do this. The plan is for me to follow-up if things don't improve. He said had no idea why the gum area over the left front teeth can throb occasionally (there are no vital teeth here). Does this plan sound reasonable?
