My gum!!! Picture and gross.

[SugarPlumpFairyCakes]

So this has developed in 24 hours.

My gum split a wee bit - I thought I was brushing too hard with new toothbrush - so I eased off and was more gentle.

Now it's gone bonkers and the wound has just 'grown' all around my tooth. I'm using medicated toothpaste now and swishing my mouth with salt water.

What is going on!? And what can I / should I do that I'm not doing already?

See your dentist, quickly.

Dentist, cordoysol toothpaste/mouthwash and genigel to help it to heal

Ooh go to the dentist asap. I what looks like a similar thing and it was a raging gum infection that was literally eating my gum. I had to have strong antibiotics and a gum graft.

Call the dentist and ask for an emergency appointment
