I have an area of my gums on both sides of my mouth that are sore when brushing. The sore areas are not touching my teeth but rather above them. The location is about where the top of your teeths roots are. It really doesnt have a different texture than the rest of my gums but it is red and sore. When brushing, they bleed. Could this be gingivitis?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint soreness and bleeding from gums can be due to 1. Gingivitis which is infection of gums2. It might be due to hard brushing3. It might be an abscess a result of infection of tooth4. Other uncommon diseases like necrotizing gingivitis, symptom of a systemic disease etc. Nothing to worry consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated Maintain a good oral hygiene and avoid stress. Hope your query is solved well soon
