Teeth question?

Question

part of my gum really hurts which means its real painful to brush on a particular area

what could this be?

how can i still clean my teeth without it hurting?

Answer 1

I have the same problem, i think its very sensitive gums and that may happen in a certain part, i suggest you brush your teeth in that area but when brushing there brush lightly and not too long it will turn sore and hurt more.  Also use tooth brushes and toothpaste for sensitive gums, there many kinds for sensitive gums, and try to pick out tooth brushes with soft brushes.

-But sensitive gums are not something you should ignore, visit the dentist and see what he says, he should provide more proffesional help for you, i too need to visit the dentist!

-good luck, and i hope i helped! : )

Answer 2

means you need to floss. Start flossing and it'll strengthen your gums.  Use a baby toothbrush in that area for now. But remember, floss!!

Answer 3

Probably be an abcess,the dentist with give you some antibiotics & it should gradualy dissapear within a couple of days

Answer 4

My mom is a dentist, and when i was little i would see this all the time! If your gum is swollen and looks red and puffy, its probably because you don't brush your gums enough. If you put the brissels of the brush on the line where your teeth and gum meet, press hard, and rub it in circles, it will definately hurt for a bit, but it should cause it to bleed for a while. That will make them not as puffy,pink,healthy, and in no time they won't hurt at all! Good luck, and i hope this helps!!

Answer 5

Maybe simply; a canker sore, sings of gingivitis from not flossing, or simply hurting from brushing or flossing your teeth to hard.

Answer 6

use sensodyne for the tym bein and see ur dentist

Answer 7

you dont say why its hurting? do you have an absess on your gum, have you cut it, do you have an ulcer? i would keep brushing your teeth as normal but be gentle around the sore area. if your not sure what it is go to the dentist or ask at a pharmacy, if it is something simple they can give you something to treat it!
