Question:
Swollen gum tissue in front of mouth above 2 front teeth: I have 3 vertical red strips on the front gum above my front teeth. It is very sore to brush.
My dentist said it looked like an allergy but it has been several months and not healed.
I dread brushing my teeth. I use an extra soft tooth brush warmed up under hot water just so I can clean my teeth.
What can I do to get my gums to heal? ... Visitor from CO
Answer:
Too much time has passed. It is surprising that your dentist didn't refer you to a specialist, especially when he/she has been unable to successfully diagnose what is going on.
The best specialist to get a consult with is a Periodontist. They are the gum tissue specialists. If possible, get more than one consult, with different doctors.
