My gum problems started after having some amalgams replaced. Before that, I never had gum problems. Over the past 15 months I have had gum problems. The problem is just in the lower rear of my mouth. My dentist said the gums looked puffy. I asked him what to do about it, and he gave no ideas. I am getting cleanings 3 times a year. If it was a supplement or mouthwash I am using, then why would it affect only the lower rear gums?
I wasn't flossing before the dental work, and now floss every day. Could improper flossing be causing this? If mercury is causing this, then why just the lower gums? I think it may be tied into the fibromyalgia, as I seem to get muscle ache and fatigue in general when I get this. Is it related to candida or candida die off? I have been eating more raw garlic lately, and lately this has been worse.
