swollen gums with braces

The pain was there for a couple of months, but i just disregarded it, but now my jaw is swollen. A couple of months back i did have teeth trauma. But my dentist braced my front four teeth and declared i dont need root canal. This pain started shortly thereafter, but the pain is on the right side of my teeth. Is this serious? Im going to the dentist on monday, Do i need to worry?

Tori Health History 1997- present Current on all immunizations Chicken Pox at age 5 - August of 2008 Braces applied. Immediately developed sores in mouth, bad headaches, swollen lips and gums, and fever. August of 2010 orthodontist changes rubber bands in mouth to non-latex. All problems went away except mouth sores. Till this point Tori has been using 1-2 tubes of extra strength oral gel, per week, to ease the pain.

You really want this irritation to go away, because while theye're irritated, they may have some swelling, and food can get trapped in between your swollen gums and this would be the beginning of gingivitis. Let me know how you are doing!

Hi, It sounds like you have the start of gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums), which can lead to a more serious condition called periodontal disease. When you have braces, it's IMPERATIVE that you brush your teeth twice and day. You MUST make time to take care of your oral health. Honor classes or not, you'll be looking at costly future dental bills if you don't start a regimen of brushing and flossing today. Start with gentle brushing of the back bottom teeth.

About 9 months ago my dentist found a tumor in my gums, compounding my fears, which turned out to be benign (he suspects it was caused by irritation from the braces I had growing up). I did find another lump on my gum, though. So any clue as to what's going on? Do I have cancer? An autoimmune disease? Some kind of viral infection? What kind of doctor should I be seeking out? Gyno? Dermatologist? Internist? Someone else? Any and all information or advice is greatly appreciated.

I got my braces of today and on the top of my mouth near the roof my gums are swollen and half of it is lose. I think what caused it was my overbite fixer which was very close to my gums and roof of my mouth.

I coughed so hard i though i would break a rib. The next morning the cough was gone but then began the next symptom, a swollen throat and swollen lymphatic tissue in the back of my throat. It was not sore but rather felt like I had someone squeezing my throat, effective decreasing its diameter. I last Friday I finally went to a doctor and she said that it was a viral infection and on the way out the door (I had concerns it was mononucleosis).

So i went a few days ago and they told me to go get a Deep Cleaning on the bottom because its my bottom gums that keep swollen i have used mouth wash to get the swollen down they told me to use vinagar can someone tell me how to get gums to stop swelling or can someone explain to me what a Deep Cleaning is all i ever had was just a normal Cleaning.....

Well just recently I noticed a discomfort on my back tooth ( I have my wisdom teeth out) well I noticed my gums are swollen just in that area, it's very sensitive, and sometimes when I floss there I smell kind of a foul odor. I'm really upset about this. I'm not sure if a cavity and a rotting tooth means the same thing? but I think that if I had one they wold tell me? I have insurance so I can get this kind of work done.

One more bit of info on my problem.... The sore and swollen area is low on the gum and not near where the gum line. The area is small and does not have much color change though there may be a small amount of white...maybe.

Hey i'm 16, i've since a few years had a habit of every now and then chewing the inside of my cheek until it bleeds and bleeds and hurts so much that i can't eat anything because it is extremely sore! i also recently have started sort of.. picking at my gums? i have braces and my bottom teeth right in the centre i push my nail into my gums constantly and move it left and right to the point the piece of gum is swollen and i think detaching from my teeth and really moveable?!

I believe homeopathic methods should be used first when possible. I had a swollen gland under that tooth and put vitamin C tablets on that side of my mouth until it got better. Once I began to drink detox tea, my tooth got better and I regained some of the energy the spider bite had taken from me. I don't want to work on this tooth unless absolutely necessary. Other than the swollen gland (which got better) I have no pain from the tooth.

About a week and a half after that trip, I noticed both edges of my top lip were really swollen. After a couple days of that the middle of my top lip got really swollen and had about 4-5 "nicks" with a little fluid coming out. They never crusted over and just kind of disappeared. It's now a week later and the edges of my lips have lighter skin now. I'm continuing to keep my lips moisturized, but I recently got a canker sore on my upper gum line as well. Could this be related?

Many adults in there 20-40's are getting metal braces. Many times the braces move the teeth which the gums are infected and has blood in it. I am not trying to give you a hard time. If someone has braces I would ask them questions like how long have you had them on. Because if someone just got them on for only 3 months there teeth, gums bleed easily which then could be a possible infection only if that person has HIV.

i made out with a girl at a party, and i develeped a red bump, which then turned white and odd shaped, which then went way down in size, and then bacame swollen and red again. i smoked a cigar, which might have triggered its redness, after doing down. it didnt scab or crust over or burst with fluid. its just a red bump on my lower inner lip. i also have some other very small pimple like bumps on my upper and lower inner lips. i have braces, which might have triggerd the bumps and sore bump.

i had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 10 days ago. initiall, i was extremely swollen & experienced discomfort and pain that i would expect. i also had numbing on a portion of the lower lip. when the numbness subsided (4 days after the surgery) a constant pain started on my lower front teeth, but there is excruciating pain on my left lower incisor (a tooth that had shifted before when my lower wisdom teeth began to surface).

he put me antibotics and gave me pain killers also, its now wed and my lips and gums are swollen, the pain has gone down a tiny bit but i still cant sleep with the pain. is this normal that the pain and now the swelling has started. does the abscess have to burst or clear before it gets better. my dentist says he cant check the root canal work done previously until the infection clears., i am so worried about loosing my tooth. when will the anti botics start to work.

During her initial visits, she was on antibiotics 3 times w/ initial dentist and once w/ orthodontist. Over the past few months her gums were swollen and we were told she wasn't brushing properly. Turns out, she had a severe infection and looked like an eyeball that finally burst. She was in a lot of pain. We are on our 3rd round of antibiotic treatment now.

I have already been told I have this problem as well. My gums hurt ALL the time, very red, swollen, bleed easily, and receeding. Specialling front bottom teeth. I am scared but have been brushin twice a day, using mouth wash, and flossing trying to help it, the pain is still just as bad though and my teeth are actually starting to hurt.

Second, the first attack of herpes consists not just of fever but of bleeding hums, painful swollen glands, and days of hectic fever. Third, herpes doesn't look anything like, "several white patches from one corner of my mouth to the other." My best guess is that you have Fordyce's condition, namely small oil glands visible against the pink background of the lip, that you began to notice when you started to worry about herpes (or that you perhaps aggravated by rubbing, etc.

After posting my question, my daughter was seen by another oral surgeon on January 12th and was operated on, on January 15th. The cysts in her gums were removed, baby cuspids pulled to make room for the permanent ones, and gold chains attached to the permanent ones to eventually be used with braces to pull them into their proper position. So, I can't give you an accurate reading of how she would have done those 3 days normally.

It started as 2 painfully swollen taste buds and quickly moved to a burning tongue. Icewater and mouthwash helped I also had something in the roof of my mouth. 7 days since my symptoms started, my mouth feels almost back to normal but I have what appear to be healing lesions on my tongue. Neither of us had any other symptoms aside from maybe being tired. From what I have looked at online, it sound like a primary adult oral herpes outbreak.

but best idea is to see a dentist and make sure you don't have a secondary infect of the gums, common in treatment..there are several types of yeasts and lichens that can grow on the gums when on chemo...treat them, and you don't have to stop tx. also I would wonder if they have you on too high of dosing. SOC for many docs is to put 100 lb females on the same dose as 250 lb men....the reasoning there escapes me. like everyone said get into see a good liver doctor...

Their were no nut ingredient at all in teh sauces and both times that evening I had mint gum or candy. Three hours later swollen lip. I was reading on web md what to stay away form and the list is very long. I never had a fruit problem with such fruits as peaches and pears and berries except strawberries and grapefruit. I have to stay away form them. I love cinnnamin so I bought cinnamin toothpaste and mouth wash and removed the mint form the shower.
