How can you bite your gums?? Don't your teeth get in the way?

Gingivitis is when your gums bleed everytime you brush your teeth. You may not a any wounds on your gums. It's just that they become really really sensitive that they bleed during brush strokes. Gingivitis could also cause bad breathe in worse cases. You don't have it if your gums never bleed when you brush your teeth. If you do have it, don't worry. Theere are gumcare toothpastes out there exclusive for sensitive gums... but before you do use them, go see a dentist for PROFILAXIS first. Profilaxis, in other words, is teeth cleaning. Miraculously you would notice your gums become healthy again after the first session. :-) DOn't worry, profilaxis costs less than any other dental procedures out there. :-) And it is very easy and quick. THen dentist will just clean your teeth and in between your teeth, most specifically the areas in between each teeth clsoe to the gums. He will also clean out smoking stains and other type of stains on your teeth. I had my Profilaxis session last month. It was great. Now I'm saving up money for a full dental whitening procedure. :-) Goodluck.

have you noticed if you are under stress that may provoque you to grynd your teeth while you are sleeping? Have you had a car accident in the last 3 years?...Your neck might be contractured , I grynd my teeth at nights but lately more so I have to use a mouth retainer as this was provoquing my neck and back muscles to contracture and I was having pains like the ones you describe above...try to get a good massage, take naproxen or diclofenac, and apply warm towels...If it doesnt go any better then go to a doctor so they can check your neck up .

I've got TMJ as well. I have a constant headache that sometimes gets really bad, if I forget to take painkillers then I feel really spaced out, can't think and sometimes feel like I'm going to fall over but don't. I also get problems with my ears from TMJ (tinnitus, over-sensitivity to noise, ear ache) so maybe it causes problems in the part of the ear which controls your balance. Hope you find some answers, good luck.

You def. need to brush and floss everyday.  Don't use any toothbrush except for a soft one, any other is too hard and can cause more damage then good.  Visit your dentist reg. for a check up and cleaning. You are also correct about the vitamins.  If you are low on vitamin C and vitamin B, this can give you a higher incidence of bleeding, sore gums.  Vitamin def. alone does not cause bleeding gums, it just makes it worse when you are not removing the plaque and bacteria every day by brushing and flossing.  So visit your dentist and get on a  healthier regime of brushing, flossing, and eating.  Take a multi-vitamin and eat lots of Leafy green vegetables high in iron.

it could just be an acid bump. you get them from eating too many acidic foods. have you eaten a lot of fruit lately? Or salt, that does it too. I feel for you, if it is an acid bump it usually hurts, especially when you bite it!

It's just one of those quirky relflexes. I have a terrible gag reflex when I brush my teeth, because I also brush my tongue as well. YUCK! It's just something I've learned to live with!

Teeth can cause head aches and yes a neck ache can cause tingling. I think If I were you I would make an appointment to see a doctor. You could have a pinched nerve or some other issue with your neck and head.

See your dentist.  You could possibly have periodontal (gum) disease which causes severe halitosis (bad breath).

It's called TMJ problems, due to stress and you're unaware that your actually clenching your teeth so hard that you're grinding some of the enamel off. You should see a dentist who specializes in this problem, they'll fit you with a special appliace called a nighguard. This aids in protecting your teeth from the amount of pressure you put on them. They'll also go over some stress relieving exercise that you can practice to help. I find that Yoga also helps.

there are several reasons i can think of that may give you headaches. it sounds like you may get migrain (i know that is not spelled right) headaches. make a appointment with your doctor. also have your doctor to check the pressure in your eyes. one other thing it may be, you may need to have some of your medicine changed.

Brushing all the time wont help.  It is likely because you have bacteria growing on the back of your tongue. To combat this, brush your tongue with your toothbrush or use a tongue scraper (available in the toothbrush section of your drug store). WaterPik makes a great high powered water spray tongue scraper/blaster that does a good job. The basic model is about $30 at Wal-Mart. It will keep your gums in shape too if you use it to clean your teeth.

This sounds like it's associated with the nerve in the head which hurts when we take too big a bite of ice cream.  Read this page http://www.sciam.com/askexpert_question.cfm?articleID=0002613F-FFCC-130C-BFCC83414B7F0000&catID=3&topicID=3 and see if it seems associated with your symptoms.  Best of luck!

There could be numerous reasons for this. I once had a headache for several months - turned out to be the lights at work. It could be a smell or sound that you keep running into. It could be a mold or something else you are allergic to. It could be your body's way of telling you something bigger is going on. Check around if you can't find the reason and they continue, get medical help.

It is likely you have a problem with the TMJ temporo mandibular joint in your jaw.  (hope i got the spelling right)  I had  a lot of trouble with mine several years ago.  I tried everything including having my wisdom teeth removed with no relief.  I could only partially open my mouth and the pain and noise in my ear/teeth was awful.  I finally sought the help of a chiropractor and after several adjustments of my neck and jaw I was almost as good as new.  That was more than 5 yrs ago, now I can open my mouth fully and only have problems if i eat something really chewy or chew gum for too long.  I wish you the best of luck. it is frustrating and most insurance carriers provide no benefits for TMJ disorders.
