My gums reeally hurt, i know they are receding, what can i do?

Question

until i can see a dentist about it? i mean they really hurt and bleed if i brush them much. i have been rinsing with hydrogen peroxide but i dont know what to do, its making my teeth really sensitive and i know i have no cavities so its not that.. what to do?

Answer 1

Do you chew? If you do. The best thing to do is stop. It happened to me. My gums are fine now, and my teeth are no nearly as sensitive.

Answer 2

Good work with the hydrogen peroxide. it is a very gental mouth rinse to use. it actually kills that bad bacteria, but leaves the good ones alone. You really should just go to a dentist and get a deep scale and clean. it is quite likely that you have deep deposits of scale under the gum line. once these are removed you will find that you get a huge improvement. remember when brushing, to brush your gums as well, as this stimulates bloodflow. And, no, i dont think that no chewing is really the answer.

Answer 3

You can change your tooth brush to the softest type. Don't brush your teeth in the up-down motion as it has been shown to receed gum, brush sideways in a oval motion.

Clear the remaining food particles between your teeth using floss.

Dilute the rinsing agent if you think it's hurting you.

Good luck!

Answer 4

When receding gums occur the result will be is that the root surface is exposed.  Gum breakdown or gum recession is a process that can be progressive and gradually expose more root surface. And added to that, severe recession can endanger that tooth's long-term survival. Dental appointments can help maintain the stability of periodontal health and prevent problems that are still minor before they become major ones.  Dental instructions and good oral hygiene habits should be given utmost importance. When gum disease is treated properly and gum health is maintained. long lasting, healthy teeth and gums are expected to be end result.
