about 4 days ago my gums became very sore. since then it has gotten much worse, mostly for the gums on my bottom teeth. they are swollen, very painful and bleed when i try to brush them. they also feel like they're on fire and there are little cuts all over them. does anyone know what it is?

rinse with warm salty, water and continue brushing with a soft toothbrush (gently with small circular motion)
make a dental appointment soon

I'm having the same problems and have been doing some research. A lot of people don't know that a lack of certain nutrients can cause your gums to recede and also if you have an overgrowth of bad bacteria in your body, your gums will constantly suffer the consequences. Soy and sugar make my gums hurt for day because if you have deep sockets in your gums its hard to brush out the bacteria that get inside them from the sugar they feed off. Try and probiotic from gardenoflife.com
and try cutting out sugar. Visit a naturopathic doctor and have your nutrient levels tested. Try switching to an all herbal toothpaste to relieve the pain. I use herbodent.

i would go to the dentist or doctor immediately. it could be some kind of an infection that you should get taken care of as soon as possible before it gets any worse. you could lose teeth or to serious damage
