painful gums
One major reason for painful gums is having food stuck between your teeth.
Food that gets jammed between teeth should be removed as soon as possible, with a gentle toothpick motion or with dental floss or dental pics.
If you are not using any of these items, how on earth are you expecting to get food trapped between your teeth out of there and to relieve pressure on your gums which of course can result in mild to serious gum infection.
It is easy to forget to do this extra oral hygiene stop, but forget it at your peril.
