Did you ever cut your gums do to brushing?

Question

Past few days my gums have been really sore because it's cut on the top next to my front teeth. It stings when I eat anything and really hurts! I don't brush too hard but my bristols may be rough but I only brush my teeth 1-2 times a day.. Anyone have this??

Answer

You need to always use a soft toothbrush and change it out frequently as the bristles do breakdown. A lot of pressure on the brush is actually working against you as it lays the bristles down, allowing the ends to scrape and irritate your gums while also being less effective at removing plaque. If you aren't pushing down on the brush then it's probably just a random thing.

Answer

I use soft toothbrush on recommendation from my dentist. You might have gingivitis too.  Maybe gargle with some mouthwash  (you can dilute it if it's too strong). And avoid things like salt and vinegar chips and orange juice while it heals.
