What Causes Pain In Gum While Eating Food?
In between my right 5-6 teeth the gum in between has been hurting really bad. Every time I eat something with that part of my mouth it hurts so bad even just to chew gum on that side. I think I could have food up there but I have flossed many times since it starting hurting and it hurts really bad to floss. I was wondering if you think I do just have food in my gum or if it might be something more serious?
