I just had them cleaned last week and ever since, when I eat, food particles go between my teeth and get stuck under the gum line. I have to go brush immediately and get out floss and start flossing right after I eat because my gums hurt. Today it took me 3 hours to get a hunk of pork chop up from under my gum line. If I had gum disease worthy of some serious attention wouldn't my dentist tell me I needed to see a specialist? I have all of my teeth. I dont mean to make it sound like my teeth are rotting out, but my gums swell up around one of my teeth after I eat if
I dont immediately floss and brush the food particles out. Maybe I should consider purreed food. Not really. Any suggestions?

I would suggest that you speak with your dentist. If you were just there for a cleaning and everything checked out, you probably have not developed gum disease in a week. If your gum are that irritated, try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water.

See another dentist ASAP!


While gum disease can be attributable to many things such as diabetes, stress, and medications, the fact is that the majority of Americans who are afflicted with gum disease have nothing more to blame than a combination of poor dental hygiene, poor nutrition, and tobacco use (if you are a smoker). Gum disease is no laughing matter folks. It is a very serious and unnecessary risk to your health, not to mention your smile and ability to chew solid food into your twilight years.

The early stage of gum disease is gingivitis, where the gums redden, swell, and bleed easily, yet can be reversed with professional cleanings and proper dental hygiene. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis. Periodontitis is much more of a threat, and with time, plaque can spread below the gum line, creating a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and toxins. These toxins produce a chronic inflammatory response that cause the tissue and bone that support the teeth to be broken down and destroyed. Gums will separate from the teeth, forming pockets which can become infected by the already present bacteria. Ultimately, if no action has been taken, the resulting bone loss and infection will call for the tooth to be removed in the afflicted area.

Sadly, gums cannot regenerate themselves, and the bones that hold your beautiful teeth in place will not reform. But, if caught soon enough (before your teeth fall out of your head), gum disease can be stopped dead in its tracks, pockets will close up, gums will become toned and healthy, and the former threat of bone loss will no longer exist.
