The pain became severe only today. I had fillings on Tuesday. I use Listerine. I brush my teeth twice a day. I drank juice yesterday. Now drinking water pains my teeth. SOS.
Answers:
Gingivitis means that your gums bleed because you have bacteria under your gumline. So floss and brush your teeth gently. After flossing daily for about 7 days the bleeding will stop as long as you continue to floss at least once daily.
