Mouth

Anyone experience sensitive gums? I am 6 weeks post op and it appears my gums are becoming so sensitive. I am on multivitamins daily and drink milk and have yoghurt almost daily. Any ideas?

Oh my gosh! The exact same thing is happening to me. I was just at the dentist today, and told them, but I didn't even think to ask if there was a correlation. My gums feel swollen, and tender. I hope someone can help here.

I experienced that during weeks 1 and 2, but it resolved. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and i was thinking about asking them about that.

I've actually noticed that every time I am on a low carb diet that I get really bad tooth sensitivity. I don't know what the correlation is.

I just noticed today that the tips of my front top/bottom teeth look slightly translucent. It didn't look that way yesterday!

Reading up on it a bit more tonight, it could be from a b12 deficiency.

I haven't really been vomiting for about 2 weeks, do don't think it's that.

I will contact my dr to discuss further :-)

Confirmed as a vit c deficiency, thankfully! ????
