Sensitive and painful gums

Mouth ulcers are a common cause of sensitive or painful gums, and can usually be treated with an antiseptic mouthwash or special ulcer gel, both of which are available from chemists. Sometimes the problem can arise as a result of damage to the gum, causing a sore spot. This should heal within a few days and, again, can be treated with mouthwash or gel.

Where a poor fitting denture maybe the cause of the ulcer, it is important to seek treatment for this quickly.

Sometimes an abscess can cause painful gums, and you may need a course of antibiotics and possibly root canal treatment.

If you suffer from a sore spot or ulcer in the same place for more than a few days, it is wise to get it checked out by us.

I have been a patient for many years and Dominic and Carol know me well. I have a very small mouth and any appointments mean it is difficult to access the back on my mouth. My dentist and nurse recognise this and I am always treated with respect.
