I am having pain in the gums of lower front teeth. What is the cause?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Pain in gums indicate a site of infection or abscess.

When did the pain start? Is it felt only on touching? Is it continuous or throbbing?

Is there any swelling or redness in the area? Is it localized in one area or spread out? Is there pus or fluid felt on touching the area?

To determine the exact cause, we need pictures and x-rays.

Few of the causes could be:

1. A cavity that has extended deep into roots.

2. Periodontal problems due to chronic tartar deposits or may be associated with receding gums.

3. Combination of above.

4. Gum injury while brushing or with toothpick or fishbone, etc.
