Understanding Gum Pain - And What Might Actually Help

Nearly Half of Adults Have Gum Disease — Are You Missing the Signs?

Gum pain is more common than most people realize. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 50% of adults over the age of 30 have some form of periodontal (gum) disease — and many experience symptoms like tenderness, swelling, and bleeding without realizing something’s wrong.

What Causes Gum Pain?

Gum pain often starts with inflammation in the soft tissues around your teeth. The most common causes include:

  • Plaque buildup – A sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums, leading to inflammation if not removed regularly.

  • Gingivitis – The mildest form of gum disease, characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding when brushing or flossing.

  • Periodontitis – An advanced stage of gum disease that can cause bone and tooth loss if untreated. Roughly 42% of all dentate U.S. adults 30 years of age or older have periodontitis.

  • Aggressive brushing, SLS-containing products, smoking, hormonal shifts, and poor nutrition can all worsen gum discomfort.

Side Effects of Gum Pain

Ignoring gum pain can lead to:

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Receding gumlines, exposing tooth roots
  • Tooth sensitivity and decay
  • Persistent bad breath
  • In severe cases, loose teeth or tooth loss.

A Gentler Approach to Gum Health

Some people look for non-fluoride, mineral-based formulas that support healing and reduce irritation. These often include:

These ingredients avoid SLS, fluoride, and harsh abrasives, making them gentler on sensitive tissue while still delivering high-quality, effective care.

What People Are Saying

While large-scale clinical trials on these specific combinations are still limited, thousands of users have reported positive outcomes with more natural oral care options - specifically Coral Toothpaste. Here are just a few examples of customer reviews about gum pain being eased by the product:

“My last checkup showed real improvement with my gums. This toothpaste works better than anything else I’ve tried.”

- Natalie G

“I’m in my 50s and my dentist said my gums are in perfect health. I’ve had no bleeding since switching.”

- Tara C

Bottom Line

If you’re dealing with gum discomfort, bleeding, or early signs of gum disease, it may be time to evaluate what’s in your toothpaste. Formulas that include gentle, mineral-rich, and plant-based ingredients — and leave out harsh chemicals — may offer a kinder path toward long-term gum health. If you're interested, give Coral a try!
