discomfort

lately i have developed gingivitis around my wisdom tooth area. so literally i cant speak or eat well. my head's a rack. the swelling of the gums has caused dub-dub into my head.

it hurts so much that i cant think as much as i speak. so cant blog. there now. perfect excuse.
yup. back to the hurting bit. gosh maybe breaking up cant be compared to this constant pricking pain! did i mention that the back of my throat, the gums area has swell way beyond the molars, total obscurity. geesh.....

i was quite worried about this recent development (in half a day), that i went to surf online for information about swollen gums. Here's wat i found.

Common Causes of swollen gums.

  1. Infection by a virus or fungus (oh dear...maybe i haven been brushing too regularly...haha lost days and nights over work)
  2. Gingivitis (yes have mentioned it before...i have swollen gums)
  3. Poorly fitting dentures (nope i dun have)
  4. Sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash (i dun think that is the cause)
  5. Side effect of a drug such as Dilantin or phenobarbital (def no-no, never even hear of them before)
  6. Malnutrition (really? hmmm ....constant instant noodles will cause gingivitis?)
  7. Scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency) ( hmm...pause again. i think i ate an orange a day back.)
  8. Pregnancy (1st or 2nd trimester) (u must be kidding. im a nun over here!)
