What Causes Pain In Gums?
Question: I have pain in my gums since last month, I have started using sensodyne toothpaste but its not working as expected. It is more painful when I take ice cream. I have gastric stomach is this gum pain is somehow related to it? I don't have yellow teeth but I have some white/yellow cavity in my front teethes from last few years, may be its somehow related to that.
Brief Answer:
hypersensitivity,yellow stains,
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Sensitivity of teeth is due abraded teeth surfaces which is called dentin hypersensitivity. You can use sensolin tooth paste,it has shown better results than sensodyne. You should also regularly massage the gum area with pulp of your fingers.
Gum pain could be because of calculus deposits resulting in alveolar bone loss. Hence you require intra oral radiographs to check for alveolar bone level. Check with your dentist about it. Besides that yellow cavity could be due to calculus deposits or it could also be due extrinsic stains like caffeine or nicotine stains.
Gastric problems is may or may not produce gum pains. You can however get that treated with antacids and proton pump inhibitors. Your physician will know about it.
In a nut shell, you need consultation with periodontist for your gum problems as you try sensolin and gum massages and also with general physician for gastric problems.
Hope it helps.
Take care
