Skin around lips turns red after brushing teeth?

Question

I'm not sure if this is normal, but the skin around my mouth turns red every time I ever brush my teeth. So is this normal?

Answer 1

are you using toothpaste with whitening?

I had this exact problem till I changed to a toothpaste without whitening, then it went away...

Answer 2

This may be sign that you are allergic to an ingredient in the toothpaste, and may have other causes as well. It may be a good idea to see an allergist or you Doctor, in order to rule out, other reasons. By changing your toothpaste to an another brand, or simply using baking soda to brush your teeth for a while to see if it clears up. Then choose a new toothpaste with different composition.  

Answer 3

You might have an allergy to something in your toothpaste.  I have an allergy to cinnamon.  I didn't know I had an allergy and I used 'extreme cinnamon' toothpaste.  Try switching toothpastes and see what happens.  :o)

Answer 4

It's normal. I got them too everyrtime I brush my teeth. It's because of the toothpaste the minty cold sensation that cause the redness but it'll be gone in no time.
