Accepted Answer

Bonjela: Is a topical anesthetic for relief of pain from canker sores or denture sores. It is not a cure nor is it meant to help tooth nerves. Sore gum yes, sore tooth no. Please see your dentist as bonjela if the sore gum does not go away in 7 days.

Question 2

can bonjela help my sore gum or sore nerves?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps, but...: I would first consult a dentist who can actually examine you to determine the cause of the sore gums and nerves. If i had chest pain, i would consult a physician to see if there is something serious that requires treatment rather than just taking some pain medication.

Question 3

evening.
i have sore gums i need to know what i can do treating them?

Accepted Answer

Sore gums: Usually means gum infection. The first thing to do is get your gums healthy, which means professional treatment. If you have sore gums you probably need the services of a gum specialist, a periodontist. Once your gums are healthy your treating professional can teach you how to keep them that way. But get professional care first. There's no pill, police, rinse, t'paste, or snake oil that will help.

Question 4

sore gums with menstration?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Menstrual cycles are so different is every woman, but you also need to make sure you are not becoming anemic or developing a nutritional or mineral deficiency when you menstruate. Vitamin or folate (folic acid) or iron deficiency can all cause gingival (gum) pain. See your ob/gyn and possibly consider further work up to ensure no deficiency exists.
