Q.

Does bleeding gums definatly mean gum disease when brushing?
I get little bit of bleeding when brushing
And when eating I dometimes get really bad pain at the back of my teeth had this for ages
Now today and last night I have had a constant horrible pain in my back two teeth causing headache and a little swelling ! I don’t really know how to treat it I’ve taken paracetamol just so I could get to sleep and I brush my teeth more times which seems to reduce the pain but it’s not gone away completely know matter what I do ? I know I shouldnt but I drink alot of fizzy drinks all the time energy drink in morning and at weekends coke sometimes during day but I also drink alot of milk an orange juice! Alot of fast food and take sways but salad and veg is well I have a healthy lunch and never usually eat sweets but occasionally chocolate but it hurts to eat chocolate so I hardly do It and if I do I suck it the pain is always at the back mostly right

Can gum disease return?

October 13th, 2011
Q.

Hi im wondering, having suffered from gum disease for a while, when would I notice- or would I notice when and if periodontis began to develop in my mouth as opposed to gum disease??
I am keeping up my oral hygiene exercise so to speak and actually think my gums are recovering/re cooperating or wt ever- they’re getting better than they were I can now brush up and against them without them hurting or bleeding (they would never do this unexpectedly just when caught) but now theyre begining to become pink- still slight red patches but 80% better, however im always paranoid itll come back and if so what should i look out for?

I clean and floss everyday yet my gums are bleeding, what can I do?

October 12th, 2011
Q.

I’m only 19 and in the past few days i’ve noticed that my gums bleed when i brush as well as when floss. I always clean my teeth twice a day and floss everyday also. I have also noticed that one of my teeth appears to have gotten longer but i havn’t ever really paid attention to/noticed it before so i dont know if this has been sudden or not.
Is this likely to result in gum disease or is it more likely that i brush my teeth too hard day in day out?!

Why have my gums started to bleed?

July 22nd, 2011
Q.

Hi

i have always been really good at keeping my teeth and mouth clean through what I think is proper dental hygiene practice ( brushing twice a day, fluoride mouthwash and flossing) but i have recently started noticing an increase in blood when i am brushing my teeth and this is worrying me greatly. is it possible that i am brushing too hard ony my gums and this is the root of the problem? or do you think i could have underlying gum disease? should I go and see my dentist, I feel like I’l be wasting his time though.   thanks for reading and any help you can give me would be greatly valued
