Question

What is it when my gums are redder and softer but curv better around my teeth. And it hurts when i chew. I cant even eat anymore. What is this disease called?

Answer 1

Sounds like gingivitis or maybe an infection. Have you been flossing extra hard? Rince your mouth out a few times a day with salt water (1 tsp in 1 cup warm water) don't drink the salt water, if it hasn;t calmed down soon see your dentist. You probably should anyhow just to be safe, but I know they are big bucks.

Answer 2

You prob. as others have stated have gingivitis. You need to brush every day, after every meal pref. with a soft toothbrush. You need to angle the brush at a 45 degree angle to your gum-line and use small soft circles to get better coverage. You must also dust off that floss and start using it everyday. Once you place the floss between your teeth you have to slide it up under the gum-line and curve the floss to each side of your tooth like a "C" shape. Once you do this slide the floss up and down several times on each side of your tooth, and them proceed to the next tooth with a fresh section of floss. You will prob. hurt and bleed for several days but if you give it a good try for seven to ten days you will see a difference in how your gums look. Your gums should be pink not red and puffy. Bleeding in any form is not healthy and is a form of dental disease. Swishing with a warm salt water rinse several times a day will also help with the puffiness and soreness you are experiencing. If this does not resolve with your new home care dental routine in about a week then I would suggest that you go see your dentist for an exam and cleaning. Ask them to teach you the proper methods of toothbrushing and flossing, that is what we are here for.

Answer 3

You have gum disease. There is no pain associated with gum disease which is why it's called the "silent disease". Healthy gums do not bleed when u brush. Receding gums, bleeding, and swollen/red gums are signs. Floss daily, use a mouthwash, see ur dentist. Dentists can control it by giving u a deep cleaning and a special mouthwash. But it cannot be controled on your own. So see a dentist as it leads to more serious gum disease and you can lose teeth if not controlled. It can be caused by hygiene/plaque accumulation (reg brushes can't reach deep in between teeth, below gum line) smoking, genes, and other factors. It's very common so there are a lot of treatments. Your dentist can also address your teeth grinding by fitting u with a mouth guard if needed. Good luck!

Answer 4

hmm, how to you brush your teeth? I was told from my dentist to brush my upper teeth down, and my bottom ones-up. That way you don't "push" your gums back. Brush lightly too. You don't want to brush too hard. That can defeat the purpose of brushing! Floss gently too. If you don't floss regularly, your gums may bleed. Rinse with warm salt water. It may taste nasty, but it is worth it. (Don't swallow it).

Answer 5

gingivitis. a gum disease. you need to see hygienist and have agum treatment done. he/she will deep scale your teeth and gums. use a soft round beaded toothbrush and brush up and down not side to side. floss well and use mouth wash now and then.

Answer 6
