Hi I had gums getting red and inflamed in one area for a few years. It's going to be a year since I got a root canal in my front tooth. It was the worst experience ever.. I Have sensitive gums and that drill killed me.. I couldn't eat anything for 7 months bc of the pain than I started snapping my teeth which I couldn't help. I started to feel better started to eat solid foods and I was dying For potato chip.. Wrong move.. I must have nerve damage bc I still have pain and inflamation. My gums get super red and painful at night. I am going to see a specialist tomm.. For the gums! Bc I cant live like this anymore... The root canal I got done made it worse. I was think maybe I need to remove my tonsils?? Would that help. I feel like my teeth are in stress every time eat. I floss every morning and brush with regular tooth brush soft and use a electric tooth brush and tooth pick and after a meal. I feel like every time I eat something it's a issue and ordeal. I make sure no food on my teeth. I am not a smoker or drinker & I have these oral issues! I just want to eat a meal with no pain & live my life with no pain in my mouth. This is extremely stressful. I don't use mouth wash bc of the mint flavor.i am allergic to mint, peppermint.. I tried salt water but I don't like the feeling it gives me on my teeth. Plus I only eat one meal a day not to both my gums... But it helps a little bit.. I am really young so don't understand why these issues! Help me out!
