[quote=Anonymous]About five days ago I noticed my gums were tender when brushing. I was using a new toothbrush and thought I had just bought medium instead of soft bristles. Then I had a bad sore throat for a day and then two days ago my gums and mouth become red, painful, and slightly swollen. My throat feels only slightly sore, but my gums, inside lips, and sides of my tongue are still very sore. I also have mild cold symptoms and feel "off". Could a cold virus be causing this? I go to the dentist twice a year and floss daily. From what I have read gum disease is a slower process, so I don't think that is what is going on. I am just trying to decide if I should take off work and go to the dentist or just wait it out if it is a cold virus. [/quote]
