Bottom of gums about two-three teeth wide feel sore/tender during mouth mouth/cheek movements (including drinking water with a slight cheek-puff). Has lasted longer than a week and I can t recall eating anything that would have cut my gum in that location. What are some possibilities of what it could be and how should I go about treating it?
Hello Elodea, might you have deposits in your gums which have lead to soreness of gums. For that you need cleaning of your teeth by dentist. You can also have got decayed tooth in the portion which might be causing you tenderness and sensitivity. That need to be treated by proper removal of decayed portion of tooth and then proper filling. Also, tenderness or soreness can be due to mouth ulcers which might be that you are not able to see. Consult your dentist. Thanks Chat Doctor.
