A healthy mouth during brushing should be free of any kind of pain and no bleeding. Sometimes though, this isn\u2019t the case. If your gums are hurting you while you\u2019re brushing this could be a sign of the following.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Brushing Correctly<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes your gums can be sore due to brushing them hard, or if you\u2019re using a toothbrush with harder bristles. The main way to alleviate this is to buy a toothbrush with soft bristles and brush in circular motions. This will prevent any tearing of the gums and will also protect your teeth in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hormones<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During puberty we all go through hormonal changes. For some, the hormonal changes can create more blood flow to the gums, making them swollen, sensitive, and red.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Canker Sores<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canker sores, or ulcers can be irritating and sometimes painful. They usually have a white center and inflamed red edges. It can cause soreness and make it more difficult to brush your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Chemotherapy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of bleeding or swelling of the gums are also side effects of chemotherapy. Undering going chemotherapy can allow one to develop stomatitis, which forms ulcers and sores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Diet\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating acidic junk food can cause irritation to both the enamel and gums. It\u2019s important to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after consuming acidic foods as they can exacerbate any irritation associated with the gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Retainers, Braces, Dentures, Guards\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any of these units can rub against your gums, especially if your mouth is adjusting. The consistent rubbing can cause irritation to the gums and make brushing not a pleasant experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Gum Disease<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gingivitis, mild gum disease, and periodontitis can lead to swollen gums and even make them feel tender or turn red. If this is your case it\u2019s critical to immediately get in contact with your dentist or us at RenovaSmiles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, to prevent pain in your gums, it\u2019s best to apply the best oral routine practices such as flossing regularly and brushing in circular motions with a soft bristled toothbrush.
