HI, I recently started having pain in my gums. It started with a sore on the left side of one tooth(which doesn t hurt anymore). Now its my back tooth on the right, where my wisdom tooth was. It feels as if my gums are trying to grow over it or somethings growing out. It s very painful. My hard palate and the middle of my two front teeth hurt also, i can barely bite or chew anything. And last, my back teeth on the left are now closing on my cheek. Like when I close my mouth, they some how catch a little line of meat on my cheek and now its starting to bother me. Please help! I have never had these problems before and it s really becoming a burden on my life.
Hello there....there are two things here... When you have a locally erupting/erupted upper third molar it usually hurts you buccal mucosa (inner part of you cheek). If the upper third molars are placed towards the cheek, as when you occlude your teeth the mucosa falls between your teeth and causes cheek bite... If you have sharp cusps this would also cause cheek bite as when you occlude... If upper third molar is the cause then you need to get it removed.... Sharp cusps can be managed by grinding them. Pain in your gums could be because of the inflammation process that would result in because of the deposits that gets accumulated over your tooth surface... Get them cleaned. Your gum pain would gradually come down... Visit your dental surgeon for clinical evaluation and management.
