Went to the dentist for gum pain, recommended gum therpy and got some relief from the pain, but the pain came back after a few months later. Went back to the dentist they said my widsom teeth may be causing the problem, so I had them removed to no problems. But the gum pain was still there! So I went back several times for check ups and they could not find anything causing the problem. They sent me to a Periodontists who said he could not find any problems but he was going to do gum surgery on me anyway for over $3000! I could not afford that so every couple of my gum pain return for a while. I have to just live with it.
