Sore, swollen and sensitive gums are symptoms of gum disease. Sensitive teeth and gums are often due to the buildup of bacteria along the margin of your gums.  

Sore gums often appear as:

Inflamed, enlarged gum margins

Rounded gums between the teeth instead of sharp and pointed

Bright pink, red or even purple

Bleeding during brushing and flossing

Painful during brushing or flossing

Itchy gums

A sore mouth and gums is a signal to you that there is a condition going on in your mouth that needs your attention. Sore teeth can even become mobile or fall out if the infection is severe enough. Even if you have sore gums and tongue, its important to take action early on that may be uncomfortable at first to help eliminate the infection.
