Answer 5

You have gingivitis. I've had it on and off for about 10 years myself.

do you floss and go for regular checkups/cleanings? (i admit i kinda slack on the flossing). you can buy a certain type of mouthwash that helps w/ gingivitis, but its best to get a special kind from your dentist. (sorry forget what its called specifically

Answer 6

You probably aren't flossing enough.  

Answer 7

okay well it seems like you've ruled out gingivitus. i would say that it could be because you're grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep. or it could be your wisdom teeth starting to rear their ugly head.  

Answer 8

i got sore gums when i stopped smoking.dentist told me it was common.

Answer 9

you probly just have gingavitus, just brush ur teeth&gums good and it will go away

What Will Prevent Gum Problems?

Obviously none of the standard products work. They only serve to treat the symptoms of the real problem. And yet, consumers continue to wash their money and good dental health down the drain. To prevent gum problems from occurring in the first place, find a way to keep the surfaces of the teeth from allowing anything to stick to them, and neutralize toxins in the mouth. Sound simple? If this were easy, people would not continue to have this age-old problem that has proven difficult or impossible to treat effectively and permanently.

Answer 13

gingivitis. its very common, tis when ther bacteria in your mouth is starting to bother your gums

make sure you floss. getting rid of the food stuck up against your gumline will prevent any abcteria form growing there to irritate your gums

its good that you only chew sugarless gum, thatll prevent cavities!

make sure you brush gently, any spot that bleeds should tell you that that is a spot that alothough it still needs to be brushed, just do it very gently

you can try buying some sterisol, an antibacterial mouthwash. itll kill that excess bacteria in your mouth

use it after youve brushed your teeth once youve finished eating. then dont eat or drinkl for another 30-60mins

give it a few days to a week and it should start to get better!!

if not, go book an appt to see your dentist!

good luck!
