One of my main problems is inflamed and irritated lower gums. My upper gums have not been bothering me. This has been going on for a few years. My dentist told me to ask my doctor about it. When it has something to do with the teeth or gums, doctors will say to ask a dentist about it. I think it might be due to the mercury, or it might be due to nutritional deficiencies. I am taking many supplements, including vitamin c, camcium and magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc, which are recommended for gum problems. CoQ10 is also recommended, however I am not taking it yet(it gets expensive for a large dosage).
