Few days back, not sure why all of a sudden when i brushed my bottom teeth on the right side, my gum feels kind of painful. When I floss, it bleeds. Usually it doesn't.
Is it because I might have brushed my teeth too hard which has now caused gum abrasion?

QUOTE(Batusai @ Aug 14 2020, 11:15 PM) only that spot having bleeding? others fine? gum abrasion usually will not show as bleeding, did you change new toothbrush recently? Yes, only that area bled when I tried to floss yesterday. No bleeding when I brush it because I try to brush that area as gentle as possible to avoid pain. However, I attempted flossing just now with light motion and no bleeding. Others no issue and not painful and no, I did not change new toothbrush. Could it be..gum infection?

QUOTE(Batusai @ Aug 16 2020, 01:56 PM) possibly that area had some extra plaque buildup over that day, if you're flossing and brushing daily, I think you do not have to worry. bleeding occasionally is normal I doubt its infection, if its an infection, you'll probably feel some boil and swelling and pain over that area already. Update: no more painful sensation/bleeding on my gums when I brush my teeth! However, sometimes I feel a tinge of uncomfortable numb near the back area. I think it's best for me to see a dentist..

Hello! I had swollen gum on one side of my mouth and the dentist did scaling and prescribed antibiotics.
I had it for a couple of days, I’m no longer having swollen gum and everything’s fine now but I still have another 3 days of antibiotics to go. The dentist asked me to finish ‘em up but do I really really really need to finish every single pill?

Hello! Has anyone tried ICON teeth whitening/ICON resin filtration?
My dentist told me that the effect is going to last forever and it does not require any major aftercare. I read online and it seems like it's just a temporary treatment (2-5 years)?
