Sore : Sore or bleeding gums are signs of gum disease. Alcoholic or acidic (sodas, sports drinks, etc) drinks can have a negative effect on your teeth and gums.

It's : It's probably not your diet and as stated above the sooner you seek professional help the better off your gums will be.

While : While diet can have a minor influence on gum disease, the best approach is to be seen by a dentist or periodontist for therapy and maintenance, usually every 3-4 months.

Bacteria control: Bacteria grow in the valley around your gums. Brushing reaches 1mm and floss removed 15% of the plaque. You need something like the perio protect method that has been shown to be a better treatment than deep cleaning j clin dent 2012) and it also has been shown to kill 99.98% o the bacteria that cause the disease j den res 2007.
