What Causes Gum Swelling With Grinding Sensations?

My teeth lately have been feeling different as If they are dissolving or gritty like. My gums have been bothering me to the point I would rather not chew food. My teeth are pushing so tight together about the half way point on top. I m concerned what could be going on. I could pick at my teeth all day if I were able to probably. My gums feel swelled, more so hard than swollen. I constantly pick at my gums and teeth with my younger or use Floss sticks. Floss is hard to even get in teeth these days. I had a dentist appt for checkup 2 months and mentioned gums were bothering me a little but i assumed it was a new mouthwash i was using. They said everything locked good other than 4 cavities in the gum line they couldn t have seem without the xray. Everything felt a little better for a short time after that app but again lately it s been worse than ever. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

This could be due to sensitivity either due to cavities in the gum line or infection.
I would suggest you to take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses 3-5 times a day to give a soothing effect.
Tak tab Brufen Bd for 3-5 days and look for the result.
Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.

Take care!
