Okay so I've had my braces for about 2 and a half weeks and today I noticed that when I smile about half of my gums on the top show and it looks really weird. It looks like my gums got really low. Is that normal with braces or is something screwed up?
Braces changing gums?
I asked my dentist about that. He said that it means I have to brush harder and floss more often, or that my gums are just still irritated.
But it turned out that I had some weird gum thing and I need to get part of them lasered away. But you probably don't have that, just follow the above advice...

Lower left gums hurt!!?
my gums are hurting on the lower left side, a while ago, it didn't have this pain, but since i've been really caring about my teeth and brushing it after every meal, it started to hurt, idk if its a toothache or my gums hurting, help!!
and i dont wanna go to the dentist, they might pull out a tooth or 2. so yeah %26gt;.%26lt;
how do i make the pain stop?!
Lower left gums hurt!!?
grow up! see a dentist
Reply:Do you have your wisdom teeth yet? Could be them coming through.....orajel helps with pain in the gums.
Reply:You say that you started brushing after every meal, which is quite often. I say your gums and teeth are just sore because they're not used to all this contact and scrubbing. Either cut back a little, or continue like this a couple more days and your teeth will eventually get used to the extra exposure.
But if you're really concerned, discuss this with your dentist.
Reply:Use a soft bristle brush and with a pea-sized amount of flouride toothpaste, brush in a circular motion with the tips of the bristles (at a 45 degree angle from your gumline) brush each tooth, then the surface of your teeth that you chew on, then the back of your teeth in a circular motion.
You definitely want to be gentle and use a soft bristle brush with flouride toothpaste and a antiseptic mouthwash.
If the pain persists after a week or is accompanied by blood, you may want to consult a physician/dentist. You could also try motrin or tylenol or IBProfun(?) for the pain.
Reply:No other body pains aside from toothache may give you sleepless nights of painful miseries and difficult chewing. And can you help this thing to happen again and again without even knowing that there's a good cure for this irresistible pain? Don't leave this condition in the corner of your health.

Redness in Gums?
A friend of mine refuses to go to a dentist or doctor for this, so I'm asking if this is serious and he needs to see a professional.
His gums have been red lately, and sometimes swollen. It also bleeds when he brushes his teeth.
I think this may be gum disease but I really have no idea. He brushes everyday but he doesn't floss often or ever see his dentist.
Redness in Gums?
It's probably gum disease. If he really won't go to a dentist, he needs to start flossing everyday and using Listerine. I've found that Listerine will heal gingivitis in less than a week for me.
There is a possibility that it is a symptom of a disease, so if flossing and listerine don't do it, he needs to see his doctor. Gum disease can also be a sign of malnutrition.
Reply:Gum disease
Reply:she dying
Reply:she has Gum disease and yes should go to the dentist
it WILL HURT TO FIX THIS PSHH DONT TELL HER THAT
Reply:Yes it could be gengivitis...periodontal disease, a number of gum disease...he DEF. needs to see a dentist...periodontal disease could eventually cause him to lose all his teeth and even part of his gums if it goes untreated.
You should never play around when it comes to oral/dental hygiene....
Reply:Unless he has major pain and also pain is his teeth, i wouldn't worry.
When i was younger my gums hurt, then my teeth so i went and they removed gum, teeth and bone.
Yes it hurt, so until it comes to that...avoid the dentist...i don't blame your friend.
Reply:Yes, he has a gum disease. Ask him if he wants to wait until all his teeth fall out on their own or go have them pulled now and save the agony. :) In other words, he needs to go to the dentist right away.
Reply:I had this problem and the dentist did a scaling of my gums. I also brushed my teeth more, got a water pik and flossed everynight. There's also something great that I discovered called "Peroxyl" from Colgate. It cleans very well.
Reply:Yes just went thought this with my neighbor. It is gum disease or gingivitis. The teeth will rot and get infected and get the breath from heck if he does not already have this. Try and suggest a salt water rinse and see if that will slow it down. If drugs are involved he is screwed. Flossing will help but it sounds like it has gone to far to really help himself.

Help Itchy Gums?
My gums from time to time get itchy. I cannot brush my teath or my gums bleed and swell and itch like mad for days. I had my teath cleaned by the dentist and they itched forever. What could this be? right now its swollen and itchy and it hurt to chew like it is.
Help Itchy Gums?
Umm? How 'bout ~ change your dentist? How well does your dentist sterilize his/her dental equipment? See an orthodontist specialist, 'cuz it could be a serious underlying problem like gingivitis, and could get worse if pus develops in between the gums.
Meanwhile, you may want to floss lightly and maybe change your toothbrush (I recommend oral be soft), and gargle with a little Listerine.

Does anyones gums bleed real bad in the morning every morning?
my gums all of the sudden started to bleed when i brushed my teeth and now they hurt all day. is this gum disease or just now sensitive teeth. what should I do and is it serious?
Does anyones gums bleed real bad in the morning every morning?
You have gum disease. Get in to see your dentist, in the meantime, brush your teeth with baking soda and rinse EVERY time you brush (which should be at least 3 times a day) with peroxide!! Get hydrogen peroxide from the drugstore, pour about 1 inch in a cup and rinse your mouth with it. Keep rinsinfg until you have used it , then rinse with water. The peroxide will bubble, it's supposed to, it's bubbling the infection out of your mouth. You can use a diluted medicated mouthwash.
Reply:go to the dentist it sounds like you have gingivitis. try using colgate total the commercial claims that it can help with this problem.
Reply:You got Gingivitis. You need to go to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned, because it is the tartar build-up that is causing the bleeding.
Reply:YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE DENTIST IT MIGHT MEAN THE BEGGINING OF GINGIVATIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.. THEY WILL STOP IT.
Reply:Actually it can be one of several things. Im Anemic (I dont have enough Iron in my blood) so my gums bleed allot. If you're lacking in Vitamin C it can also cause that. If you tooth brush is too stiff it can scratch the gums. Certain tooth paste can cause an allergic reaction too. Anything is possible.....Cheack with your health care provider.
Reply:try gargling,%26amp; rinsing with listerene mouthwash,i once had gum disease really bad,%26amp; started rinsing with it%26amp; it went away on it's on....listerene really doe's kill the germ's in your'e mouth.

My Greyhound has bleeding gums and wont let me brush her teeth. Suggestions?
I have a 3 year old female Greyhound. I recently noticed that her gums and gum line are red. I bought special Dog toothpaste and dog toothbrush, and she won't open her mouth for me when I try to brush them, most likely because when I do it hurts her gums because they bleed. Any suggestions as to how I can get my dogs teeth clean, without paying for a trip to the vet? The vet would probably just use drugs to put my dog to sleep for a short time, which are bad for Greyhounds. Also, how often should her teeth be cleaned?
Thanks.
My Greyhound has bleeding gums and wont let me brush her teeth. Suggestions?
Some anesthetics are bad for Greyhounds. You need to find a vet who knows what is safe to use...I think most vets know but it doesn't hurt to ask. They should use propoflo to induce and Isoflurane or Sevo to maintain. You have to watch for hyperthermia in them as well. My boss had a greyhound and another Tech has had 4, and we have many greyhound patients. They are notorious for having the worst teeth--probably has to do with what they're fed on the track--horrible diets! Your dog really does need to have it's teeth cleaned, then the vet can show you what to do afterward to keep them clean. You don't have to open your dogs mouth to brush--most of the tartar is on the buccal (cheek) surface. Just hold the muzzle closed gently and brush along the gumline with a childs soft toothbrush and dog toothpaste. Go slow and get him used to it. Wait until after his cleaning and his gums heal so this isn't painful. He'll most likely be put on antibiotics for a couple of weeks after the cleaning, and sometimes before as well. We've never had a problem cleaning a greyhounds teeth yet, but we know what we are doing.
Reply:it may have a gum desease you may want to get that checked out or something call in to a doctor for animals and they may tell you to bring in the dog but its worth the try! good luck i hope your dog gets better
they may even say its nothing!
Reply:i would recommend getting those long hard chew bones, that last awhile and since they are hard to chew they exercise her teeth. Or go to the vet and see what they would recommend.
hope this helps
Reply:Take her to the vet. They may use anathesia without your permission but they can probably use tricks to clean it out. Also if the gums are bleeding you need to do more then brush teeth. This could be gingivitis or gum desise. You have to get this checked out no matter what. Call greyhound breeders and see who they reccomend. They have special meds that can numb the mouth without hurting your greyhound.
Good luck! I hope your dog feels better!
Reply:If your dog's gums are bleeding she most likely has gingivitis. Which is an infection in the gums. She needs to be on some antibiotics most likely and she needs a teeth cleaning. Your vet should know how to handle greyhounds. If your worried, call the greyhound rescue in your area and find out which vets they use. Get your girl taken care of, then start brushing her teeth between cleanings. She won't be so much trouble when it doesn't hurt to get her teeth brushed. Good luck to you.
Reply:Bleeding gums are a sign of serious decay. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if untreated, this could lead to more serious issues than what the anesthsia would cause. Anesthesia is actually very safe now and it would be much safer than letting a bacterial infection deteriorate the bone tissue in your dog's jaw. Your dog will probably have to have some teeth pulled and they will clean the ones still in good shape and get him on antibiotics to clear up the infection. I work in dog rescue and we have seen this many times and it never clears up without a trip to the vet.
Once the vet cleans everything and the infection is gone, brush your dog's teeth everyday. Even if you only get one tooth done, still do it. He will start to get used to it and it will get easier and it will prevent this from happening again.
Reply:Maybe you should let the vet decide if the anesthetic is bad for your dog.
If her gums are bleeding that easily and she is that sensitive to you touching them then you need to have them looked at by a professional. There are several possibly problems occurring in her mouth. She could have severe dental disease (gingivitis) or she could have an inflammatory or hyperplastic disease of the gums as well.
Reply:Greyhounds need their teeth cleaned at least weekly.
If her gums are bleeding you will need to take her to the vet to have the teeth scaled.
She is probably suffering some nasty gingivitis which needs to be seen by a vet as gums can become infected (which can spread down the dog's throat and end up costing you a LOT of money)
Reply:Get her a nice big raw bone. Chewing on the bone will help clean her teeth.
Some grooming shops will scrap the tarter off a dogs teeth without drugging the dog.
I have a 15 yr old dog who has never needed his teeth cleaned. My secret is a raw bone twice a month.
Thanks.

Should my gums still be sore?
I had my wisdoms and an extra molar out exactly a week ago. My gums are still a little sore. I didn't realize that they were sore until I decided to try to eat something solid. I heated up some alfredo cheese raviolis, just alfredo sauce and ravioli no tomatoes, no spicy stuff in there or anything crunchy. I didn't even chew on my back teeth, I used my front teeth to chew it and basically swallowed it whole. Now my gums are really sore, I rinsed them afterwards with the water syringe and brushed my teeth well. Also, my jaw is super sore. Should I take a hydrocodone for the pain, or just wait til it wears off? Should it still hurt 7 days later? I was just sick of pudding and mashed potatoes so I didnt think a soft noodle with cheese would hurt me, but I guess I was wrong...What the heck am I gonna do about Thanksgiving tomorrow!!!!???? :*(
I am so hungry for REAL food!
Should my gums still be sore?
your making me think twice about getting mine pulled. i am glad i waited until after the holidays. it sounds like you could have an infection see your dentist, but take some pain killers to hold you over until the holidays are done.
Reply:I would just suck it up, or take a pain killer. After you get your wisdom teeth pulled they usually do hurt for a while.
Reply:Yes, it is normal. Some people heal differently than others. Your heal time could be two weeks when others may take 30 days to heal. Try to be careful while you're healing and start by eating soft and gradually to hard foods. You will be OK, if you have pain then take something when you do.
Reply:I had a tooth out on 11/21 and my gums are still sore, did you have stitches or were they surgically removed, if so then yes it is normal. Also going a week without using your jaw to do anything other than talk and then chewing food causes the soreness also, keep eating semi-soft foods today and hopefully by tomorrow you will be able to eat some turkey, just be careful
Reply:Dear SOTRB,
You may have gotten "dry socket". This is extremely painful until it heals. Rinse your mouth and gums with warm salt water frequently, and call the Dentist. Sometimes thay have to pack the empty socket where the new gum tissue that was forming has been lost.
Reply:take a pain killer . And make a appoiment to see a dentist again .
Reply:Gums can be sore for as much as 3 months after an extraction while the healing process is taking place. A tooth is pretty big, and the hole it leaves behind when removed takes many months to fill in. If it only hurts when you eat or drink, don't worry - all is probably ok.
If the pain is constant, throbs at night so bad you can not sleep - even when you take meds it still hurts, and it gets worse everyday, then it is most likely a dry socket. A dry sockety is when the blood clot is no longer covering the bone, and now the bone is exposed to the air. A dry socket is VERY painful. Only a dentist can treat the dry socket properly. He will use a mixure of eugenol (a clove oil) and vasoline on a special type of gauze strip. He will place it into the socket to cover the bone. This will have to be done every other day for at least a week until the bone is covered with a new layer of skin.
One more thing that might be going on -
Occationally a bone spur will dislodge and start moving towards the top. Use a clean finger and gently rub the area where the tooth was removed. If you feel a sharp object, it may be a bone spur. The dentist can remove the little piece of bone and it will significantly reduce the pain (if that was the source of the pain).
If you do nothave a bone spur, and do not have a dry-socket... chances are you'll be fine. Warm tea bags can be a nice sedative as they have analgesic properties and the warmth may comfort the area. Some people prefer cold packs on the outside. The normal pain comes from swelling, so taking anti-inflamatories pain meds like advil, alieve, motrin are better than tylenol.
I hope you feel better soon!
