[|Human|] I have a strange vein running from the back of my throat to my gums and my gums are overly sore to the point of pain. This happened once before but my doctor and dentist could not find anything wrong. Sometimes my roots are oversensitive so i numb them. Any ideas on what is wrong?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. Painful gums can be a symptom of gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) or, more likely, periodontitis (inflammation of the attachment fibers of the teeth and supporting bone), which can arise due to a number of different causes. Painful gums can also arise due to localized sores on the gums, such as abscesses or authors ulcers. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
