Gum swollen and bleeds after floss.xray.
Hi, I have been dealing with some jaw and neck pain issue for the last 9 months. It's constant burning and sore pain in jaw under ear and side of neck. Been to several doctors, dentist and no relief yet. I have been told it's either tooth root fracture in #46(only suspect), MPDS and joint degeneration beacuse of  bruxism. I am not using any mouth guard. Does mouth guard help? Told to do physical therapy. The query is, I didn't at all in the last 9 months as I have constant jaw pain. Constantly. So I just brush and didn't floss.today I flossed my teeth and it was bleeding from most of teeth and gums. I see some white tartar at the base of the tooth tongue side. (back). It's present in few teeth upper and lower. Mostly around 5 teeth. After I floss, I see few of my teeth gums becomes red and looks swollen. I don't know if it's swollen, because it's at the back of the mouth.only few upper teeth. When I run over my tongue at the back,can feel puffiness on those gum. is this normal?help.

Nothing to worry about bleeding. Visit dentist for ultrasonic teeth cleaning. Visit MDS oral and maxillifacial surgeon for jaw pain.
