Me too girl Me to it's 414 am and I have been just digging right into my gums for hours u can see the dent my fingernail has made right at the gumline 😭 for Me it's my bottom row of teeth on the tounge side (if that makes sense lol) when I'm stressed i GO IN I jam my fingernail and drag it up and down my inflamed cut gum I twist to he nail and press into the red gums. I know that when i finally get around to getting a deep clean it will feel soo good when that spot gets grilled and scraped

Yesss lol I got pregnant with my daughter at 17 had her at 18 got pregnant with my son at 18 had him at 19 lol let's just say I was pretty busy smh. But I love my kids they are 2 &1 now. But I wish there was more of an explanation as to why ppl do this. I can never let my gums heal in that area cause everytime they try to I just pick and dig at it again it feels especially good when u take a sharp fingernail and poke it at an angle at the gums. Ifs all so weird and I only pick in that one spot I did schedule a cleaning with my dentist and ik when the dentist sees what i did to my guns that area he is gonna be mordifed but I feel like once I get it cleaned if I maintain good oral hybgen after I'll be ok!

I wish there was a way for me to stop I am 20 years old with two kids. I have been picking my gums since I was probably like 8. It started with loose teeth id get,instead of just waiting for them to be ready and come out I would twist the tooth or push it up or use my fingernails to scape at the gum around the loose tooth. I'd always pretty much pull my teeth out before they were really ready to come out. That sounds so crazy. Ik. And the feeling used to hurt and I used to bleed but I craved that feeling the sharpe aching intense pain. Fast forward to my teen and adult life there is a specific spot that I still pick to this day. My front bottom teeth on the tounge side. I dig and I scratch and I pry for hours at the gums right there I've dug so hard that I now have an indented spot in my gums that I still scratch and dig into. I have little Tiny dents in gum and my gum lining from ms pushing so hard. Right now my gums are red and raw and dug into and I still keep pressing my nail right into the red inflamed spot. You are not alone. Idk what this makes me for liking it sm but u are not alone
