When bottom gums grow back does it hurt?

Unsure of Question: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. If your gums are growing back, that implies that they had previously been lost...Perhaps due to infection, trauma, surgery, etc? In any case, healing in the body anywhere usually doesn't hurt. It doesn't matter if it's a broken bone, a scratch on the skin, or unhealthy gums...Healing is usually comfortable. In fact, you usually don't even notice healing.

Dental evaluation: What are your lower gums growing back from? If you had surgery there can be some discomfort during the healing process. Talk to a dentist, periodontist, or surgeon about your concerns.
