What should i do about gum irritation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Visit your dentist to see exactly why your gums are irritated and what would be necessary to treat and prevent it from reoccurring. There are many possibilities and it requires at the very least a personal clinical exam to evaluate.
