GUMS IN PAIN? THIS COULD BE WHY
There are many reasons why you might be experiencing gum pains, most common reasons are the following:
Abscessed Tooth
When you have an infection by the root of your tooth, it forms a pus pocket, or abscess. These don’t always hurt, but many do.
Oral cancer
This can start on your tongue, inner cheek, tonsils, or gums. You or your dentist may see the cancer, because it looks like a sore in your mouth that just won’t heal.
Gum disease
They usually happen when you don’t brush or floss your teeth well or often enough.
Tobacco
If you smoke or use “smokeless” products like chewing tobacco, dip, or snuff, you’re more likely to have gum disease
