Gums loose and inflammed
I recently got braces and before applying them my dentist did a scaling procedure because I had cavities in my lower teeth. My lower gums are loose (they wiggle when I touch and they are not stuck firmly to my teeth like other gums are), red all the time, and they feel sensitive when gargling. I even saw a cut on one gum today. I'm very scared at this point and don't know what to do. Can anyone please help.
