My gums on one side of my mouth in the back are hurting, why?!
Question: My gums on one side of my mouth in the back are hurting, why?
I'm a little concerned, they don't hurt but they just feel weird when i move my mouth or jaw around, or when i'm eating i can't use that side of my mouth
when I was 14 I felt that on my other side and this side too, it's the last two slots in my mouth and it seems like my gums are just puffy :(
Answers:
Did you floss? Sometimes flossing causes 'gum aches'..
It could be you may have an infection.. or maybe it is the wisdom teeth coming in that's causing it. Only a dentist can tell you for sure.
You should get a check up /cleaning done at least once a year anyway to prevent or diagnose possible issues.
You have no idea how expensive complicated dental procedures can get. Prevention is far cheaper for you (or your parents) than trying to fix a disaster. (in this country)
It could in fact be because your wisdom teeth are growing in.
