Why do My gums on the right side hurt (throb) starting about 30 minutes after I eat. They dont hurt to the touch or any other time. I brush regularly and floss quite often daily. I also brush with pronamel. Most of my teeth are capped. Do I have periodontal disease? Or do i have cancer? I also have started to notice the throbbing getting farther towards the front. So the area of pain is increasing.  Thanks for any recommendations you can offer.
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, your clinical history suggests you are suffering from periodontal infection that involves gums and the attachment procedure of the teeth.  As most of your teeth are capped you may have compromised gum health leading to periodontal infection.  It is caused due to accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of the teeth.  You may need to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants, this will help in resolving the symptoms. Followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics.  Meantime, I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine.  Approach a dentist for treatment.I hope this helps, take car
