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?

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? sad.gif

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)?
