Toothpaste, Results - Mouth Hurting & Gums Bleeding - ???

I bought a new toothpaste, Colgate. Used it and experienced a burning sensation in my mouth, and after i rinsed out, my whole mouth began feeling burns, numbness at the top of the mouth (what%26#039;s that called?), and bleeding from parts where the teeth sit.





And Now i see that I%26#039;m getting that white lining of the gums at the bottom front teeth.





Here%26#039;s the thing, i brushed my teeth once a day for a week before I bought the Colgate.





Is it me not brushing my teeth twice a day and not flossing or is it the Colgate Toothpaste thats making my Mouth in terrible pain.....

bleeding gums may be a symptom of a more serious gum problem. you must pay extra attention with your oral health hygiene. it is possible that your bleeding gums are caused by your new toothpaste. some toothpaste may contain harsh ingredients that may cause irritation or damage to the teeth and gums such as bleeding and swelling. bleeding gums may also caused by over brushing of tooth, change your toothbrush with soft bristles. brushing and flossing regularly prevents bacteria build up that causes gum problems. i suggest that you use natural oral health care products for they do not contain harsh ingredients that can irritate your gums. observe also a healthy diet such as eating vegetables and fruits that contain high level of vitamins for a healthy oral health. it is also important that you see your dentist at least twice in every year for professional cleaning and recommendations. for more information regarding bleeding gums and oral health care visit http://www.themouthdoctor.ca
Reply:Go see dentist and he will give you one for sensetive theet. So simple. and don%26#039;t brush so hard on your theet. Often but not hard.
Reply:it wasn%26#039;t the toothpaste, if you neglect your mouth in that fashion, and then suddenly brush, you can expect exactly that to happen. Get a softer toothbrush, use baking soda and water to brush your teeth until the gums heal, then use the toothpaste again. That, or get periodontal disease and end up with dentures inside five years, your choice.
Reply:Doubt, it would be the toothpaste that did this. maybe you brushed too hard. Do you have plaque build up on your teeth next to the gums? this will be why they are bleeding. See if you can get some Corsydol or some form of antiseptic mouthwash like Listerine. This should sort it out.
Reply:I have to agree with galinaE. You might be brushing too hard. Other than that it may be that you have sensitive teethe. But what you describe usually happens to me if I have been brushing too hard because I would be trying to get my teeth as white as I possibly could.
Reply:There are different ingredients in different toothpaste, and it could be that you can%26#039;t tolerate one of the ingredients. I have a dental colleague that cannot use Colgate toothpaste and has the same reaction that you do. Change toothpaste to Crest or Arm %26amp; Hammer. If you still have to same reaction, contact your dentist.
