Hi.
I am having problems with my painful, tender gums, which affect my sleep. My dentist is one of those, "No Pain, No Gain" types who basically says that I should floss regularly and scrub my teeth/gums hard with a toothbrush and it will go away. I have tried and it hasn't. I have tried Corsadyl and that burnt my gums and made things even more sore. To make matters worse two molars embedded in the gums have started aching. Whether the ache is the teeth or the gums, or both, is hard to tell. Any ideas on dealing with gum disease and time lapse before effects are noticed, would be appreciated. The gums are not bleeding at this stage.
Thanks in advance.
