Hi, the other day I was eating a mango, pulling the fruit off with my bottom teeth when the string bits hurt my gum real bad.. now I have this growth/flap in front of my tooth .. I can move it and fold it back plus I have been having really bad breathe since.. not sure if it is from the way I ate the mango.. or maybe even my lip ring that tends to sit in that position when my mouth isn t moving. Thanks
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to clarify that eating mango or any other fruit never results in gingivitis i.e. inflammation of gingival. Its just because of trauma due to that fiber of mango & it resulted in inflammation. You should go for oral prophylaxis. In future also try to maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing & flossing. Also use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash once daily. Consult your dentist for further treatment.
