Gum pain is: something you need to speak w/your dentist about. You MAY have a gum disease that he/she can help you with. Peace and good health.

Determine the cause: If you haven't been to the dentist for more than six months, then you may have calculus buildup. No amount of brushing will remove the calculus... it needs to be removed with professional dental instruments. See your local dentist for a consultation.
