Bleeding gum

 

I believe everyone had at least once in their life bleeding from their gum and this is quite scary when you notice that the first time. For me it was when I was brushing my teeth and also using flossing. I remember that day I eat an apple with the skin and it was somehow hard and I have not noticed how one piece got stuck between my last upper teeth. I was in school and was not able to remove with fingers but also I did not have long nails that day. After my few attempts I just gave up and decided to do it at home later on the day.

When I arrived home I completely forgot about that because it did not hurt and I went to have my dinner but also evening was too long with doing home work and that evening I was too tired and forgot to brush my teeth.

In the morning I felt slight discomfort between my teeth and that made me think about the apple from yesterday and I went to bathroom to catch up on flossing and brushing.

The piece of apple skin was firmly stuck and I had a feeling that it probably was even stuck into my gum too, so it took while to remove it but finally it was successful but very sore.

I decided to brush my teeth immediately and brushed that area with bristles of my brush and it hurt too but I thought it will be better. The next day my gum was swollen and very painful so that I needed to see a dentist, who after examining told me that I have inflammation of my gum, then I told him about my problem with piece of apple and that I forgot to brush my teeth. The dentist advise to take antiseptic mouth rinse for a week and also to gently brush my teeth to avoid injuries. My gums was bleeding for few days but slowly it stopped and I was very glad. Since then I learnt a lesson that if there any pieces of food stuck between teeth I immediately remove it and I have a flossing always in my handbag.

My advise to others do not forget to brush your teeth even if you are tired.

I hope you have found interesting information for you and I would like to invite for this contest following users @vickyson, @lusciouslucy, @mole1
