Q: Peeling Gums
asked by: wintersgate on June 14th, 2006

Hi, im really worried because my gums are starting to peel around the teeth on both the top and bottom. I cant figure out why they would be doing this since I havnt been doing anything out of the ordinary. I may have forgotten to crush my teeth a few days, but ive done that all my life.

The skin that comes off is clear white yet it looks foggy, it doesnt hurt but I cant exactly peel it off, I just kinda brush it off. This is the first time ive actually noticed it, but yesterday after eating my mashed potatoes I notice that my gums were feeling funny around the bottom of my 'lip line' (where the gum meets the lip). I didnt think anything of it and went on with my life, until today, when I ate my mashed potatoes I felt the same thing and looked in the mirror! O.O I noticed that my gums were peeling!

I cant go to the dentist just yet because I just moved over a 1000 miles from home and am away from my parents for the first time so I dont have insurance. I plan on getting a new job soon so hopefully I can go then. :cry: my teeth wont fall out will they?
