gums swollen and sore

Hello, Such sore swollen gums can be due to gingivitis,infections,malnutrition and vitamin C deficiency,pregnancy or sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash . Take vitamin C supplements for some days and change your toothpaste brand and avoid using mouthwashes if your swollen gums are caused by sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash.Also have good oral hygiene. If the symptoms persist then pls consult a dentist and get gingivitis ruled out. Hope it helps.

My daughter is 20 and for a few days has had very sore lower gums, yesterday she woke up to very swollen and painful glands on one side under her chin , she went to the drs who gave her antibiotics said it could be an infection of her gums, today she is so much pain in her neck and jaw, she's away at uni so I am an anxious mother worried could this be more serious?

after the second or third dose or antibiotics, my gums were practically back to normal and of course my sore throat and the pus covering my tonsils started to clear. i am going back to the doc today because as luck would have it, the same exact symptoms are showing a year later. hope this helps.

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.

m still having difficulties eating because of 1.) my gums, tongue and lips are still getting more swollen and more sore-filled 2.) i still have a somewhat uneasy stomach accompanied with a loss of appetite...

my gums were swollen and would bleed easily they told me its normal and to just make sure I take good care of my teeth and gums especially during pregnancy because your more susceptible to gum disease and cavities.

I have a swollen lymph node on my groin.. eczema all over my body, and sore gums could this be sympthoms of HIV or Herpes?

ve got about 5 sores on my bottom right side gums and down by my tongue. In addition, my cheek is swollen and sore, and my teeth on that side are sore when I try to bite. I haven't had the swollen, sore cheek or sore teeth with canker sores before. Should I see my dentist again?

I had extremely sore gums when i was pregnant. I barley sleep or eat for days it was just to sore.

Im 6wks tomorrow and my gums are so sore! Pre preg they used to bleed when brushing but.now just do it randomly.

My last dental visit a month ago I had no cavities on my left side however I looked today and number 17 has a black spot on it as well as bad decay on the OD area. my gums are swollen and sore. and the teeth where I just got my rooth canal the gums are swollen around the crown and my mouth is just sore. What is this. I'm do everything i can to save my teeth. What more can i do? please help me!!

6 days after the crown was in, my gums are sore. Now there seems to be a sore in the back of my mouth. The sore hurts when water hits it. The right side of my throat is senstive and sore to touch. The whole side of my face is sensitive to touch. I went back to dentist. He said tooth is fine and thinks I have cold or flu. I don't. I am healthy and have no past mouth problems. I have other crowns. Dentist put me on Azithromycin pak 250tab. This is my 3rd day on it.

I got what they called pregnancy gingivitis with my second child. It was bad, my gums were sore, swollen, and when I would touch them they would start bleeding. I even scheduled an appointment to see my dentist and they wanted to numb my whole mouth and basically use a water pressure underneath my gums I was like NO THANK YOU. I noticed that my gums got better when I cut out sugars.

Sorry to hear of your problem, I understand how uncomfortable it is, because I myself have also suffered from this as well as having a swollen tongue in the past I learned that Vitamin B deficiencies are one of the most common deficiencies that can affect mouth and teeth. So I bought Vitamin B12 tablets that you place one under the tongue from the health shop. And this helped. Because you are medications, some of these can cause dry tongue and can also cause Thrush in the mouth.

This is my first time carrying a pregnancy this far and today I noticed something strange. I was eating an apple and afterwards my gums were sore and swollen. I brush and floss regularly so I was quite surprised. Is this a pregnancy thing??

day 1 - 4 painful urination and spot (both seem to have cleared) day 3-5 swollen and tender glands, day 5 to 10 swollen and painful tonsils, day 8 - 10 sore and swollen gums, day 10 sensitive penis.

I know that oral sex is not a high risk activity. But, would canker sore in my mouth raise the risk because it's a type of open sore? For further information, the sore was small and seemed yellow without bleeding. it was located inside of my lower lip. I licked the semen right after my partner ejaculated so it was exposed to the air for seconds. I dont know if the virus (If he was positive) died due to that exposure to the environment.

Thing is afterwards i noticed a red sore around my top tooth and awhile later i noticed the gums in top of my mouth were badly swollen so could have been slightly swollen at the time. It's been 3 months now and i am waiting on test results (1st set of bloods got damaged in transit, which meant going true the whole testing process again which doesn't help my nerves) what do you think are the chances of having got hiv from this one possible exposure?

She also gave me some closed mouth kisses and one open mouth kiss where we touched tongues and she sucked my lip as she withdrew her mouth. I suffer from ulcers and bleeding gums.

Take some Vit C! I had sore gums too and my birth class instructor told me to try taking some. It helps!

it is very tender and sore... this morning when i woke up it was leaking pus what can it be?? it feels like my wisdom teeth are pushing everything forward and the two teeth are crammed.... could it be a cold sore??

I had protected vaginal and I received unprotected oral sex from a girl who did sex with many men without condom. After 15 days of the encounter she tested for p24 antigen, HIV antibody combo and the result was negative. I tested for HIV antibody (rapid) at 4 weeks and p24 antigen, HIV antibody combo at 7 weeks. Both the results were negative. As I did protected vaginal I'm assuming that I'm not HIV positive.

Basically, I was with my girlfriend, and I was kissing on her chest. Then I started sucking on her nipples, the day after, my gums were very very sore, and swollen. And I couldn't eat anything, and then today when I woke up after a long night of breathing through my mouth due to a clogged nose, there was what looked like pus but completely white coming from some of my gums and they were also cut up pretty bad.

Yes. I saw my hygenist for regular cleaning and I wouldn't let her floss my teeth! She let me floss myself & wasn't offended as she's had several children. She said it can be a side effect of pregnancy. She recommended a fluoride mouthwash--been using Act and it seems to help. I've had a lot of vomiting which is bad for mouth.

Swollen and bleeding gums is normal during pregnancy due to the extra/stronger blood flow in your body.

I guess chips got stuck in my gums or something and I had a headache last night. Today I wake up and my whole jaw is sore, my gums are swollen, it hurts to eat, my nose is stopped up, and it started bleeding, and I have a horrible headache. Not sure if its sinuses from the weather changing or if its from my mouth.
