What Does Soreness On The Gums Indicate?

Hi, my gums are really sore on both sides. I doesn't feel like a toothache but it hurts on both sides of my mouth. It changes sides all day long when I try to eat it hurts really bad. I have a headache also and once in a while I have some dizziness. Not that bad but once in a while

Hello,
Welcom to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about sore gums.

As per your history, it seems to me that there is no swelling or inflammation or ulcer. It can be because of periodontitis or gingivitis.

If you have associated bad breath, bleeding while brushing or urge to scratch the area then it may be periodontitis. But your history is not suggestive of particular medical condition because of lack of details.

If you could provide certain more details like how many days it is there, is there any bleeding, any white painful ulcer, intensity of pain etc we can provide you a better opinion.

During mean time you must do CHLORHEXIDINE mouthwash twice daily, replace your tooth paste because certain ingredients of tooth paste may be allergic to you, brush your teeth twice daily.

Hope the answer to your query, write to us incase further clarification is needed. Also provide your feedback too.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer.
