What does a cold sore feel like and what's the best treatment?

Gum cut flap bottom teeth, bleeding gingivitis for three weeks whats the cure?

• I had gingivitis for about 3 weeks now. I dont drink or smoke. Been brushing my teeth and my bottom middle teeth were bleeding. Went to the dentist and said i needed to brush to cure. So i thought right... all i need to do is bursh to cure. So i brushed everyday after every meal and after about a week and a half the pain started to die down. Then after a few days the pain drops down there is a cut in my gum and i can feel its flappy with my tounge. Then cut is below my bottom teeth on the root and everytime i brush it it irritates it and i have bleeding and few amounts of pain. So the doctor told me to brush yet nothing is doing good, i even mouthwashed my teeth with anti plaque wash. Does the doctor not do a root gum clean? i had this before but this time they did not give me this treatment. Whats wrong with my gums and what treatment would i need?

• Answer:

  I know, seems like a too easy an answer right? but guess what, your dentist is right. brush that area real well, meaning well but not abusive. then floss in between the teeth and make sure the floss goes right under the gums and scrape all that crap out. Gingivitis is caused by bacteria in your mouth that attaches on your teeth in between and under the gums. You will find that it may make it bleed more ( a self defense mechanism that your gums have to flush anything that's irritating it) but if you do it consistantly, especially before you go to bed, you will see an improvement in one week.
