unhappy mouth =(

[�mermaid�]

i have good dental hygiene (brush twice a day, use an antibactierial mouth wash, have recently started flossing) but over the past week or so the gums of my bottom front teeth have been extremely sore. i have also noticed that they look really low and am worried about how much lower they can get before my teeth get wobbly! my dentist is on indefinate sick leave and the replacement can't see me until the end of the month but it is really hurting! what can i do?! also i'm a non smoker and don't like fizzy drinks. help!

might be an idea to see your gp, is it possible that you have been over zealous with your flossing ?and maybe you might have an infection from that... if it is painfull go see you gp you might need a/b's

hope you are ok soon, might mare when you cant get into your dentist for a month though.

Sounds like an infection or over brushing/flossing of the mouth/gum area.

leave off the flossing as I think you've been a bit overenthusiatic in your efforts. Go to a chemist or Boots and get a bottle of Corsodyl mouthwash, the minty flavour is better than the original. This mouthwash is antibacterial and helps with gum problems and healing. Gargle with it a couple of times a day after you have brushed your teeth and whilst having the mouthwash in your mouth stick your tooth brush in and brush gently around the gums where it's sore.

This should help you, good luck
