Needing expert help. i have sensitive gums, what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitive gums: See your dentist for an examination. Sensitive gums may result from a buildup of tarter, or from an infection, gum recession and bone loss. You may just need a cleaning. Or, you may have gum disease which will need to be treated.
