Dental care, Inflamed gums do to rough flossing

Treasure — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 16:34:59 +0000

Today I had to go into the dentist for my general dental appointment. The dental assistant was being a rude jerk. She was telling me very rudely that I need to brush and floss my teeth better. I do brush and floss but flossing is a little hard since I also wear braces.

Then the dental assistant started flossing my teeth for me, shoving the floss into my gums. At the time they were really bleeding and she all like that because you do not floss…

Now my gums really hurt four hours latter. How can I sooth my sore gums? I told my mom but she just says maybe I should floss better then in the future. I am so upset.

Bad Breath, Painful Gums

Jake Bell — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:12:07 +0000

My gums have been red and slightly swollen for over two months now. I be using Listerine with gum care and that seemed to be helping me. My gums still hurt but not all the time mostly when I brush or eat. Since I do not have a dentist and no dental insurance using mouthwash is really the only affordable thing for me to do.

About a week ago I have notice that my breath is not so fresh like it use to be either. One of my friend said my breath stunk. I do not know why that would be since I am always using mouthwash. Do you think it has anything to do with my gums? If so should I see a dentist? If I have to see a dentist where can I find a really cheap one to look at my teeth?

Thanks

I want to always have fresh breath. Anything I’ve used leaves a filmy feeling in my mouth and does not improve my breath Assuming that you have ruled out any health issues or bad teeth and gums as a cause to your bad breath. You may just have the morning breath. You can try brushing your teeth right before you go to bed and use a mouthwash that kills germs. I like Listerine but really any good mouthwash [...]...

Bleeding gum pain, No dental insurance

McGee — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:12:05 +0000

My gums really hurt and I do not have dental Insurance

So about two weeks ago I got a soft toothbrush and toothpaste with whiting. Now my gums are really sore and they are bleeding. I did not worry so much at first since I started wearing my retainer again that I had a while back. I figured since it had been a while since I wore my retainer last that may be way my gums hurt now.

However, it is two weeks latter and my gums still hurt. I do not have dental insurance so going to the dentist is out right now. I am not sure what to do to stop my gum pain.
