In your opinion would you say that I have gum disease?

Q.

Good day,

I have being having bleeding gums for a very long time when ever I brush and have something like blisters that come inside my mouth once in a while and my gums are not pink in colour and most parts of it are red and due to a commercial I saw recently, I have reasonable cause to believe I have gum disease.

I want to find out ifthese symptoms is a sign of this disease of its just anxiety that the commercial was referring to me because I really never took notice of it and paid little attention to it until yesterday when the bleeding continued when I was brushing and when the wound seemed to have healed,I started feeling the pains again.

I’m at uni and will struggle to visit a dentist, but what is this red thing on my gum?

September 20th, 2011
Q.

I’m 18 went to the dentist less then a month ago said maybe signs of gum disease so went through oral health advise etc with me. Now I have a sore below my front tooth the area surrounding it is slightly red and swollen. However the rest of my gums arent swollen and red, and I havent been experiencing bleeding when brushing. I suffer regularly from ulcers which is what the sore looks like however it is the position and the fact its not stinging like a normal ulcer which is worrying me. I’m at uni where it is extremly difficult to get to see a NHS dentist, I know its best to catch it first but I go back home and can see my regular dentist in December can I wait if there are no more developments and keep practising really good oral hygiene-floss, brush properly, mouthwash
