  1. What are the causes of gum pain? The gums that support your teeth may be tingling, redder, or swollen and lumpy. What are the causes of these unpleasant symptoms on the gums? 1. Periodontal disease Speaking of gum disease, periodontal disease is probably the most worrisome. When the condition of the periodontal disease worsens, the alveolar bone under the gums melts, causing the teeth to wobble. As a result, pain occurs when you chew food or when your teeth bite each other in conversation. In the early stages of progression, the teeth are not wobbling yet, but many people feel itchy pain, such as tingling or stuffiness in the gums.

  2. 2. Apical periodontitis Apical periodontitis is a condition in which the infection has spread to the roots of the teeth. The cause is caused bytooth decay and periodontal disease, and the nerves of the teeth die. In this case, there is no severe pain, but when you brush your teeth or when your teeth bite each other during meals or conversation; you will feel slight pain or discomfort. 3. Root fracture A root fracture is a condition in which a small crack is created and the infection spreads to the gums, even if you look into your mouth and do not seem to have a missing tooth. You may find it broken after taking an X-ray or pulling out your teeth.
