One of the most common reasons for sore gums is improper oral hygiene. Without knowing more specific information, I'd have to assume this is the case. If so, you will need to make sure you brush several times day, each time brush for at least two minutes. You will also need to ensure that you floss at least once each day. Both of these steps will strengthen your gums, keep them clean and reduce bacterial presence.

Early Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and regular oral care at home. The dentist or hygienist will probably help reduce the current buildup of tartar by scaling the teeth. Scaling removes tartar and plaque from the surface of the infected teeth. Reversing Gingivitis is all about daily plaque control – essentially sound oral hygiene. That means, in most cases, stopping the plaque in your mouth is really in your own hands. Brush every day. Floss every day. Period. Your dentist or oral hygienist may recommend fluoride toothpaste or tartar reduction rinses. Colgate Total is approved by the FDA for helping to prevent gingivitis by reducing plaque and tartar. Dental professionals recommend oral irrigation as a great way to really clean teeth and gums. Oral irrigators get what tooth brushes and floss don’t, so plaque and tartar never come back. Oral irrigators flood the mouth with a jet of water under pressure to flush offending food particles and bacteria from the mouth. And now there’s fresh evidence that Gingivitis responds well to oral irrigators. http://www.oralbreeze.com/ http://www.mizar5.com/omedia1.htm http://www.dentist.net/index.asp

NO ASPIRIN on gums. (causes chemical burn) Rinse with warm to almost hot sea salt water through out day. Ambesol-to numb the gums Warm wet tea bags held to gums(soothing) Rub baking soda on gums(discourages bacteria)

Dentist.

Floss twice a day. You should see some improvment soon. I do it and my gums are fine. Good luck

Floss 2 to 3 times a day and at night gurgle with warm salted water.

I just wanted to add and I should've added this before I think, is that I might eventually have to go to the dentist and have one of the teeth on my left gum pulled. Does that make a difference in the question that I added? Also, should I continue to use ambesol?
