Avatar f tn I'm 34+6 and yesterday all of the sudden in between two of my teeth started hurting every time I ate anything. Now today my gums, just where they meet my teeth hurt so bad and it just makes my whole mouth hurt! I've heard that women can get swollen gums during pregnancy, but it never happened with the last two and just surprised me at how fast it came on. Anyone else having this problem? And tips to help it?
Avatar f tn Your gums will swell when periodontal disease is present, this is plaque build up on your teeth or gingivitis. Food gets caught between our teeth and gums pushing the gums away from the teeth and causing inflammation and swelling. See your dentist regarding this and go from there.
Avatar f tn Hello. I am very worried about my teeth, recently some kind of "gum" extension" appeared in between my teeth in the bottom row, in the front, and more keep showing up, even though those are small. I include a pic in this post so you can help identify the problem, I am very very worried, I am 17 years old almost 18, can this have something to do with the wisdom tooth?
Avatar n tn My gums got very swollen during treatment and it was hard to clean very well. I used an interdental for between the teeth and a rubber pick to try and clean and stimulate the gums. Things returned to normal for me after tx.
Avatar n tn I can't tell what is wrong with my gums. Dentist says it takes time for the bone to settle and that everything looks fine. I don't trust him. It looks like I am going to have all the front teeth pulled because of the repair needed on the other teeth. I can't keep having them done one tooth at a time but will not use this dentist.
Avatar f tn My gums right between two teeth are swollen and bleed if I eat anything that pushes against it. It doesn't bleed to bad if I brush it's weird is it something I should be really concerned about? Anyone else have this?

7813138 tn?1394942258 I'm 12 weeks today & yes, my gums became sensitive around week 10 too, and they still are.. a little! it was actually my top teeth that would bleed.. usually in between my two front teeth especially.. they recommend going to the dentist & letting them know you're pregnant b/c some women actually get gingivitis during pregnancy, but sensitive/bleeding gums are normal.. I usually use mouthwash last, it usually stops the bleeding & gets rid of that taste in my mouth!
Avatar n tn It almost looks as if i had had cut right where my gums go down between these two teeth teeth leaving this little patch of swollen gum. It doesn't bleed at all, even when vigourously brushing or flossing, nor does it hurt. It has been around for a couple weeks, getting neither bigger or smaller. Neither of the teeth on either side hurt at all. Any idea what it could be? Some food that got stuck in there? I have been eating a lot of popcorn lately.
Avatar n tn Hi, Do you have periodontal pocketing? If so, fluid can get down into the pockets and transfer pain via the tooth dentin. If your dentist has checked your gums and teeth, try flossing with small dental brushes or piks. Be sure to use your regular floss, too. This will help remove any fluid or tartar build up from between your teeth which can be VERY irritating to the gum and cause a tremendous amount of pain. I had the same thing on one side and was sure it was just one tooth.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else having this issue? I brush my teeth every day twice a day and I use mouthwash but my top front gums are still swollen and bleed. I'm terrified that I might lose my teeth in the front and can't afford to go to a dentist. Is this just a symptom of pregnancy or should I scape up some money for a dentist?
Avatar f tn Here is article about plaque and how to get rid of and prevent it. Dental Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria and food debris that constantly forms on our teeth. It is the initiating factor of dental decay and gum disease, and can harden into tartar if not removed daily. When the plaque is neglected for long, it leads to tartar or calculus. Detecting Dental Plaque Plaque forms when the bacteria occuring naturally in the mouth reacts with the food substances to form a film.
Avatar f tn Has anyone have problems with their teeth during pregnancy. . I mean my teeth and gums are freaking sensitive. .
Avatar f tn I have a black speck between my teeth and gums. I think it is food. It's like the second to last teeth on the inside so I cant really see clearly what it is. The area is a little bit sore but not swollen, I will try to make a appointment at my dentist but I really want to get it out before then. What ways should I try? Ps.
Avatar f tn what can I do for my swollen gums ? They are bleeding more than usual when I brush ..?
397982 tn?1210924921 Yes, bleeding swollen, sensitive gums can be an early sign of pregnancy. My gums hurt a lot when I was pregnant and bled everytime I brushed my teeth, I asked my Dr. because I didn't know if it would affect my mitral valve and she said it was common in pregnancy.

Avatar n tn I'm 22 weeks has anyone else had swollen gums?
Avatar n tn I'm a teenager, you see. I just got braces this summer, but the problem is that I have a lot of honors classes and no time to brush my teeth at all. So a gap has formed between some of my teeth, but that's not my major concern. When I brushed my teeth about a week or two ago, my gums were bleeding.I thought it was just because I hadn't brushed my teeth in a while. I brushed my teeth again a few days ago, and the same thing happened, but this time my bottom left gums felt sore/hurt.
Avatar n tn in the roof of my mouth for quite some time now. One of them is the one is in the center that runs between the front two teeth and the other is next to it. They are slightly swollen and sore (I tend to rub my tongue on them a lot lately). I have also noticted a small pump next to one of the ridges and a small bump in my gums between one of my front teeth and side tooth that is greyish/deep read.
Avatar m tn They prescribed me a special dental mouth wash for my gums. 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.
Avatar f tn 23 weeks and i brush my teeth regularly but my gums have been swollen, is this normal? Or should i see my dentist?
