Help please, my gum is really messed up.

Storm Crow is right. I didn't want to say that and scare ya, but I've heard of it happening. It COULD have happened to me if my tooth hadn't fallen out! If it hits your brain your life is in danger. But don't worry it's rare that happens, just relax and more importantly get your ass down to the dentist.

When i was a child i had an absess - but it was news to me. It didnt hurt at all, i didnt even realise. The first i knew about it was the my dentist said that tooths comming out.

ah thanks guys. It could be that I have been missing that area while brushing, cause I dont brush rough really.. and I brush normal amounts, so its prolly from me missing that area.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing my dad always told me (and it always helped!) Gargle with some warm water with salt dissolved in it. Yeah, it tastes like hell, but if you do that a few times a day until you can make it to the dentists office, you'll be fine! So yeah, try it and get back to us, eh?
