Is it normal for the back of the gum to start hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult your dentist: It is never normal to have any part of the body to hurt, including gums.Get your teeth &gums checked with your dentist to rule out gum disease or tooth infection.Also, to help yourself, keep immculate oral hygiene by brushing &flossing more regularly.
