My gums are super sore and stinging. I'm currently on my period and apparently it's a thing to get sore gums (but I've never had it before) on or just before your period. Actually my period was super late (2 weeks) this time so I'm wondering if I could be perimenopausal. I'm 37. Not looking for a diagnosis obviously, just looking for some experiences from other posters who might've had this. So if you had sore gums/mouth whilst on your period or peri, or even pregnancy related gingivitis I'd really appreciate it.
I am going to the dentist soon but I have to go private now so I'm just waiting until I have the money. Wouldn't surprise me if I had gum disease but my gums don't look half as inflamed as they feel and they were fine a few days ago!
