Ok this is just odd: i am brushing my teeth at night and the next morning my 4 front teeth feel as if some burned my gum line with a torch lighter and it wont go away. Dentist is closed . i brush and floss me teeth every day and after i eat. this helps for about 1 hour but then 1 hr later they burn like the torch lighter . I have no idea what this is and is there some thing i can get to put on my gum line cause my uncle is out of state and my dentist is on vacation and i need this to go away or get fixxed asap cause it burns. No i didnt eat a hot pepper no i did'nt burn my gum line with hott food. For some reason if i eat cold food or drink some thing cold it goes away for a bit then comes back. There is no puss bubble or any thing comming out from under my teeth but this burn like some one torched my gum line. this is only a problem on my bottom front 4 teeth the rest of my teeth are just fine. What is this and got any ideas and what can i do to get rid of this cause this Burns.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you're scratching your gum line when you brush your teeth (breaking the skin). I've foolishly done that a few times.
I'd recommend staying clear of the gum line for a couple of days while it heals, then purchase a soft-bristle brush.
I'm sure someone here will recommend oils or nutrients to strengthen the gums...
Tim is right. use a soft brush. u don't need to brush a teeth with bulldozer force. it will injure the surrounding. green papaya juice will help the damaged gum line.
Do you have any other symptoms? Do you, or have you had a cold recently?
There are a few things that could be related to this. Any recent changes in your life, diet, etc?
It could also be related to 'sensory nerve damage'..(any accidents?)
Sounds like you are heading to the dentist. That would be an excellent place to start.
Meantime if you are looking for something to sooth:
Sage will soothe inflammation
Sage is recommended for use as a rinse and gargle for inflammation of the mouth and throat cavity because of its calming, anti-inflammatory effect. Boil 1-2 tablespoons of dried, crushed sage leaves in 1 cup of water; steep for 20 minutes; strain. Rinse your mouth several times a day. Chewing fresh sage leaves may also prove beneficial. Massaging your gums regularly before bedtime with eucalyptus oil is another way to speed the healing of the inflammation. The massage stimulates blood slow so the tissues are better supplied with nutrients, and the eucalyptus oil is germicidal.
And my very favorite: Myrrh
Tincture of myrrh kills germs and supports the natural immunity of the body. For a minor infection of the gums, rinse daily with tincture of myrrh. For more severe inflammations, use a mixture of equal parts tincture of myrrh and tincture of bloodroot. Bloodroot has been shown to decrease plaque formation. The two tinctures may also be diluted with water and used as a mouthwash. Make sure not to swallow this mixture.It is just a rinse.
