sore and swollen gums can be a warning and obvious sign that you are under attack by gum disease. be aware that gum disease shows off a warning sign in the advanced stage. have it checked by a dental expert to get proper treatments.
tooth loss can eventually happen if you left gum disease untreated. if do not pay close attention to good oral hygiene then it can result to gum problems. make it a habit to carefully and properly brush and floss teeth every after meal. this can help remove plaque that sticks around teeth. and can fight bad bacteria that can cause oral infections.
dental visits and dental cleanings are very helpful in taking care of the gums, teeth and oral health. an all natural oral care product can help keep gums and teeth healthy and promote fresh breath. visit http://www.themouthdoctor.com for more tips on how to take care of the gums.

Sore gums are a sign of inflammation/infection. Do you floss? If you don't I would start right away. As an option you could use those little green brushes that get between your teeth instead of flossing. I find that it actually works better than flossing (For me anyways).
Use a mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride. Crest Pro-Health is one of them.

well bonjella will help , but you need to solve the problem rather than just numbing it, you should brush your teeth more often and use mouthwash , if your gums still hurt you may have the start of gum disease , you should make a appointment at the dentist and see what they say

Rinsing with warm salty water should help, try this several times a day, and try NOT to wash the salt away in your mouth if you can manage it, you may feel a little thirsty, but it could be worth it!
