I have noticed pain in the lower gums for about a week and now have noticed that there is gum thinning in the lower teeth as well with whites of teeth exposed in thinned areas.  I floss once a day regularly and brush 2-3 times a day.  Any suggestions?  Last checkup was 3 months prior no problems, no dental history problems.Thanks,
Hi Mannheim, The pain in lower gums can be due to-Vigorous brushing resulting in gingival recession as well as attrition of teeth. Periodontal diseases. Vitamin deficiencies. I would advise you to visit your dentist and get scaling and root planning done. Exposed tooth or root portions of teeth has to be restored using tooth colored filling materials. Use soft-bristled toothbrush and clean your teeth involving all aspects of teeth. Use chlohexidine mouth rinse to gargle. Take vitamin rich diet. Hope these suffices.
