Does anyone ever suffer with intermittent soreness on random areas of their gums?
Just to point out, this started to happen shortly prior to being diagnosed as Type 1. Also, my BG is well controlled.
Every so often, I will get a sore area on my gum which I only notice when brushing. Usually the soreness is always just above an upper tooth (normally the canines and sometimes a tooth a bit further back) and when I brush I will develop what looks like a small paper cut on the gum directly above the tooth. This will last for a few days to a week then go. However, it will then reappear after a few weeks/couple of months in an area of gum above another tooth.
The past couple of weeks, I've had it above a back tooth and for the past few days have treated with a course of Corsydol (which has usually been effective in the past). The soreness cleared up after a day, but I just brushed my teeth and noticed soreness above my right canine and sure enough there was the little 'paper cut'.
My last dentist appt. was this time a year ago. Had a couple of filings fixed and told of my occasional random gum soreness. Was told my gums were in pretty good condition. Went for a hygeinist appt. 8 months ago and there was no issues raised about my gum health then either.
Does this ever happen to anyone else? The only person I know of who would often get intermittent sore gums was my step-dad and he's now hardly got a tooth in his head, he's had to have so many pulled!!!
