Sore gums?

dlofnep · 2007-10-21 16:03:49

I ate a rakeload of rashers last night and now my gums are sore and tender. I can't eat anything without them hurting. This happened before when I ate a load of rashers.. Could it be gum disease or just the rashers? I brush my teeth twice a day.

How do you expect someone to diagnose gum disease from that post?
Go see a dentist.

Until you can see a dentist, Difflam mouthwash is fantastic for aching gums as it contains an anaesthetic, I used it recently when I had a wisdom tooth erupting.
