I woke up today with sore teeth/gums?!
Question: I woke up today with sore teeth/gums.?
I use to have gingivitis and other problems with my gums, but that was treated and I've been brushing and using two different kinds of mouthwash since then (which has been a few months) without even skipping a single day. But today I woke up with my teeth/gums feeling sore. I think what may have happened is I was laying on my stomach and my face and teeth were probably pressing against the couch while I was sleeping. It's my front bottom teeth only. I also noticed earlier I was able to move one of my teeth just a little bit, but it doesn't move now but my gums and those couple teeth still feel sore, as if I was hit in the mouth. Can anyone tell me what might have happend to cause this and what to do about it.?Health Question & Answer
