I was eating an apple recently and felt pain when I bit into the apple. I thought I had cut my gums on the bottom front. Now my gums in between my bottom front teeth are sort of loose looking, almost like they are not attached to the teeth and my teeth and gums are sore.
Hello, You may have some periodontal disease. Rinse with warm salt water. Make sure nothing is stuck under your gum.  Practice good oral hygiene with brushing, rinsing and flossing. Gently massage gum area. You can cause strain to the periodontal ligament that holds the root onto the bone socket when you incise. Please avoid chewing and stress to this area. Take some anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief and to reduce any accompanying inflammation. Medications include Tylenol and Advil. Keep well HY Chat Doctor.  Prescription rinses with chlorhexdine gluconate may be helpful to healing. Schedule a dental exam and cleaning. Can you see tartar buildup on your teeth? There may be sublingual tartar buildup. Your dentist will probe your gums and evaluate for periodontal disease. Gingivitis can have swollen gums with increased probings.
