Since four months now, eight month after my soft gum tissue grafting, my donor gums are gotten reddish and look infected. First, I didn't pay attention to it but the first small skinny lines around my teeth got darker and bigger areas got red.
I went first to my dentist for periodontal disease to ask him for advice but he saw it as a non-dental but medical issue. My family doctor made some blood tests for my heart health, liver health, vitamin deficiency, cholesterol, and so on, but couldn't find anything. Everything looked like I am perfectly healthy and fine.
The gums didn't get better and started to burn, tongue and my whole mouth too. I was sitting on my desk and had the feeling that my mouth was under fire. My gums got dark red and I was pretty scared my gums would erode again. You can imagine how this feels after a pretty pricey operation (I am gratefully that so far, this didn't happen).
I was pretty desperate (got much better) and did my own online search for my symptoms.
I found out that all my symptoms lead to "liver heat" and "heart heat" and how through foods to improve liver heat I can minimize how my gums are affected.
