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 chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.
Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.
For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.

A lovely evening spent together outside the practice. Last night the Evolve team enjoyed a delicious meal at Aqua in Portishead - a chance to relax, catch up and celebrate the people who make Evolve such a special place to work and visit.
We’re proud of the warm, caring team culture we’ve built, and evenings like this are a great reminder that behind every appointment is a team who genuinely enjoy working together.
Thank you to Aqua for a wonderful evening and fantastic food.

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.
