Question 1

my front teeth are sensitive and the gums are tiny bit swillen on the inner side. rotted tooth? maybe tar build up? gingevitis? needs a cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Gingivitis: This sounds like gingivitis, or maybe early periodontal disease. Schedule a teeth cleaning, and discuss these concerns with your dentist. In the meantime, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing once daily. It is important to maintain good oral health, because it can affect your overall health as well.

Question 2

gum pain and gingivitis? over the last month one of my upper front teeth has become very sensitive, and now the gum above it is also quite sore. is this gingivitis?

Accepted Answer

Without : Without an exam it is difficult to determine the nature of the problem.  There may be several reasons for the symptoms ranging from gum disease exposing the root of the tooth to an infection.  The only way to tell for sure is to see you dentist for an exam.

Question 3

i had a periodontal cleaning on my front teeth nd a regular cleaning on the rest.. my gums are extremely swollen and very tender is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is common: Yes, your gums may also be sore or swollen after deep cleaning. Use warm salt water and NSAID OTC for pain control. Any swelling and discomfort should subside in a few days (aprox. 7days).

Question 4

Question 5

my 7 year old's gums are swollen and painful, his front teeth are pushing forward. how should i deal with it?

Accepted Answer

Secondary dentition: His permanent teeth are coming in. Warm salt water rinses may help. Make sure to keep brushing, these are your permanent teeth that are emerging.

Question 6

lower gum line inflammated and looks boggy all of a sudden. it has not swollen and does not hurt but the lower front teeth has itchy feel; what to do?

Accepted Answer

See dentist: See your dentist. This sounds like an infection, gingivitis, or other periodontal disease.

Question 7

just how swollen can i expect my facial area to be following an allograft gum tissue grafting on two adjacent upper front teeth?

Accepted Answer

Post Op Swelling: You should only have mild to moderate swelling. Having said that, the amount of swelling varies from individual to individual. I have found the biggest determining factor is how easily you bruise. It also varies according to local conditions, medical history, medications, expertise of surgeon, etc.

Question 8

i have root canal treatment done 5 years ago to my upper front teeth and since then i had my gum swollen around  that teeth . what is the reason?

Accepted Answer

An x ray: You need an xray to see if there is a residial infection on the tooth that had the root canal.  You also could have periodontal disease.  See your dentist for the answer specific to your problem.

Question 9

my little girl front teeth's gum are swollen while her two front teeth is growing.  is it normal ?  i am so worry...please help me!

Accepted Answer

Probably fine: What you are probably looking at is the gum swelling as the teeth are popping through.  However without a visual hard to know for sure, good idea to see pediatrician and if they are worried they will send you to the pediatric dentist

Question 10

the gums around my brother's four front teeth are very red but they are not swollen or hurting. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Red gums: There are several reasons for red gums on the front teeth
maybe he is a mouth breather instead of just breathing through his nose this irritates the front gums
otherwise he may not be cleaning the area well and the tissues are starting to break down
have him see a periodontist to evaluate him.
