Question

Whenever I brush my teeth or use mouthwash, I notice blood coming from my gums, and they swell up a lot too. I'm really concerned about what could be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on, and maybe suggest ways to fix it?

Question

I used clove oil directly on my tooth to help with some pain, but it was a lot and undiluted, so my mouth started burning really badly, though it stopped after a while. I ended up swallowing some of it too. Is that okay?

I'm noticing a white, bulging ulcer-like thing in my mouth. It's positioned at the lower backside of my lips and has been there for two weeks. It's not causing any pain or showing redness around it.
