Hello,

Pain in gums can be due to gum infection and in case if there is no decay in any teeth, then it can be probably due to gum infection only. Also if you grind your teeth, then there can be wearing away of teeth causing sensitivity of teeth and gums.

So my suggestion is to start using anti-sensitivity toothpaste twice a day, apply the paste and leave for half a minute and then brush with it. Avoid very cold and hot foods and brink it down to room temperature. If any of the teeth have excessive abrasion, then teeth have to be capped.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
