My Gums Are All SWOLLEN!

[Placebo]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, my gums in the front of my mouth on my upper teeth are all swollen and gross, nasty.

I wonder what caused it, it came out of no where a few hours ago. :scared:

1. allergy maybe?

Did you eat something out of the ordinary?

2. Did you eat some food with lots of MSG?

That's actually a common reaction.

3. Just a cheeseburger and some fries.

4. What did you eat today?

My exhusband used to react that way to eating apples or carrots.

5. Make a dental appointment as soon as possible

Sounds like the symptom of an aggravated condition. Certain foods can cause a flare up of periodontitis. Get it checked out.

6. Rinse with salt water

As many times as you can.

7. Were you complaining about wisdom teeth recently?

Or was that someone else? Anyway, pay attention to Mika's post, 'cause she's a dentist and you need to see a dentist ASAP. (I'm a dental patient and I agree with her.)
