My gums are really sore. what can i take or do about it?

See your Dentist: Sore gums are definitely an indication that a problem exists. It may be as simple as needing a cleaning from your dentist to a more serious medical condition. I strongly suggest making an appointment with your general dentist to have it further evaluated.

Brush/ floss/see DDS: Sore gums is not normal, and may be a sign of gum disease. Gum disease destroys the fibers and bone that hold your teeth in. It is very treatable, especially if caught early. In more advanced stages, tooth loss happens. Go see your dentist right away for a diagnoisis and discussion on your current state and treatment options.

Periodontist: Sore gums is your body's way of telling you something may not be right with your gums. See your dentist or periodontist for an evaluation of your gums. The dentist should evaluate your gums clinically and radiographically along with a periodontal charting.

Excellent home care: Gums that are sore is a result of gum disease. Plaque material ( bacteria and food debris) accummulate on tooth surface. An immune response results in localized inflammed gum tissues leading to bleeding gum, painful gums, and bone loss. This condition is known as gum disease or periodontal disease.

Periodontist: See a specialist. You are suffering from a periodontal problem, and who is best treating perio disease? A periodontist!
