What causes your gums to be sore?
Various things can cause your gums to become sore, such as brushing too hard, poor flossing techniques, infection, or gum disease. Other causes unrelated to oral hygiene could include a Vitamin K deficiency, hormonal changes during pregnancy, leukemia or blood disorders.
How can I heal my gums?
There are a number of things that you can do to help heal your sore gums
How long should sore gums last?
The time it takes for sore gums to return to normal depends on the cause. For most cases, such as poor flossing technique – the gums should take around 10 days to heal. However, your gums can start to feel better within a few days.
Why do my gums hurt in one spot?
Gums may hurt in one spot for a number of reasons, such as, eating hard or sharp foods, a gum abscess, or from an infection trapped within the gums. Food trapped between teeth can also put pressure on the gums which can cause pain in the gums if not removed with floss or TePes.
Why do my gums feel like they are throbbing?
The most common cause of sore or inflamed gums is gum disease, which can be caused by a build up of plaque or tartar, allowing bacteria to mature under the gum line causing problems. . Those suffering with gum disease often experience gum pain, throbbing teeth, wobbly teeth, bleeding gums and increased tooth sensitivity.
When should I see my dentist?
You should see your dentists if you have any of the following symptoms:

Can cosmetic dentistry improve your confidence?
In this video, Carol answers a question we hear often - and for many patients, the answer is yes.
Feeling confident in your smile can have a real impact on how you feel day to day. Cosmetic dentistry can help improve concerns such as tooth colour, shape, spacing or worn edges, while keeping results natural and suited to you.
Every smile is different, which is why treatment always starts with understanding your goals and recommending the most appropriate options.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, our team at Evolve would be happy to help.

Can a dental device help with snoring?
In this video, Maggie answers a question many people ask - and for some patients, the answer is yes.
Custom-made dental devices can help reduce snoring by gently repositioning the jaw during sleep to help keep the airway more open.
If snoring is affecting your sleep, or someone else’s, it may be worth exploring whether this option could help you.
Speak to our team at Evolve to learn more.

Considering facial aesthetics but not sure where to start?
At Evolve, every treatment begins with a consultation - because understanding you is what matters most.
Yasmin will take time to discuss:
• your goals
• your concerns
• whether treatment is the right option for you
For some patients, treatment is appropriate.
For others, it may be something for the future - or not needed at all.
Our approach is always honest, supportive and centred around helping you make the right decision for you.
If you’d like to explore your options, we’re here to help.
