Excessive pain in gums

[MabelMHen1]

Hi all,

Since few days, I'm having excessive pain in my gums and I feel like my teeth are loosened. What will the actual reason of it? I’m also suffering from bad breath and bleeding gums. Do I have any gum disease? One of my friends told me that all these are symptoms of gum disease. Is it so? I’m so scared and I’ve scheduled an appointment with my family dentist in Ajax for next week for the check up. I hope everything is well. Advices are welcome.

 

Do you smoke or chew?

Could be Periodontitis or gingivitis. Depends on symptoms. You probably do have some kind of gum disease

definitely make a run to the dentist... Try to keep away from super acidic and sugary foods my man.

Well at least you're seeing a dentist next week. try not to worry about it until then and looking online at stuff you'll normally see the worst stuff and worry more. E.g. Googling I have a bad headache shows up stuff about brain tumour etc

Painful, inflamed and bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis. An all natural remedy that may help you is coconut oil pulling, basically swishing coconut oil in your mouth for 10+ minutes.
