Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of irritation on the gums which is because of inflammation of gums due to a condition called gingivitis/ Peritonitis and major cause of it is every time the cusp comes out of gingival tissue you will start experiencing these symptoms. I would suggest you not to panic about it. You should start antiseptic mouthwash such as Listerine. You should take a combination of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Don't touch gum area repeatedly as it will spread infection. Visit periodontist once and go for complete examination and scaling and root cleaning in particular quadrant. Your symptoms will resolve soon. Do warm saline gargles as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.

I can understand your concern regarding to dental health.

As you are saying that there are no bleeding and swelling present in gums but irritation feels, it might be due to some self-induced causes like overly aggressive brushing technique, improper flossing technique, at home whitening treatments and dietary choices.

Apply gentle pressure during brushing which is enough for removal of food and plaque. Use soft bristle brush. Use custom-fitted trays for at home whitening techniques. Avoid hard candies and crunchy items like potato chips, nuts etc. to decrease the gum irritation. Avoid habits (if any). Consult your nearby dentist for clinical examination and to rule out the exact reason for gum irritation.

Hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query and further queries are always welcome. I will like to answer them.

Wish you good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
