Category “Q. Gum disease”

I’m 19 years old, take good care of my teeth, brush/floss daily use mouthwash, etc. I had a cavity on my back molar for about 4 years that I knew about and about 2 months ago, I started having this pungent taste in my mouth, but no bad breath? I swore I had gum disease. My gums don’t bleed & I know I have super deep pockets because floss goes in them. I have minor recession on my bottom front teeth because of my overbite constantly rubbing. So I finally got to the dentist, he filled the cavity and actually told me my home care was in the top one percent! For the taste, he recommended a tongue scrubber. I used the scrubber for 2 weeks and still no change. I called them and they told me to use biotene mouthwash. The taste became even worse! So my dad said maybe try baking soda? I tried, & it lit my mouth on fire. Now I have pain in my lower front teeth. I just went back to the dentist; he was so confused when I told him about the pain; so he checked. He told me he sees absolutely nothing wrong!!! The only thing he told me was I could see a gum doctor. He told me I didn’t have to go because he sees nothing wrong. Sorry this is so long. But I swear I have gum disease! Like advanced!! My gums are receding on the top now & the earliest the periodontist could get me in was in 2 weeks! Please help!
