What Causes Gum Infection?
Hi, I'm 19 years old & I just had a son 2 months ago. The inner part of my bottom lip & my bottom front teeth are sore & raw. I also noticed red lines on my inner bottom lip. Its causing me discomfort & its getting hard to chew. I'm making a dentist appointment asap but I wanted an expert opinion to at least give me an idea of what I might be dealing with. Thank you!

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the gum infection could be because of the deposits on the teeth. consult your oral physician and get your teeth cleaned. you can use mouth washes. the soreness over the lip could be a aphthous ulcer or herpetic ulcer, you can just use topical anesthetic and analgesics. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
