Ugh, I’m 40 now and finally having this problem I have big gaps in my teeth so nothing ever get stuck there thanks to my divorced parents fighting over who pays for braces and it just never getting done.

Now I bleed from this one spot under my gums all the time. It’s not even in a hard to reach place. My body just decided one day “the one, right there, blow it”.

Dentist doesn’t see an infection or anything, I’ve never had a cavity before and still don’t. But time gets us all I guess.

I am so sick of tasting metal all the time!

Get a waterpik and use it daily. Use a 50/50 ratio of water and mouth wash. Also, brush your gums as well.

You can't have braces anymore?

I never got them. Blood tastes metallic.
