Messing with gums

[kayduck]

Hi.
Iv been constantly messing with my gums for months now. Pressing them etc and they get really sore but I still do it.
I'm obsessed with them not looking right or they are ugly etc etc.
I see a dentist at home due to my agrahobia and he tells me my teeth are fine but I cannot stop messing with them.
Any advise please.

I think I may understand about you messing with your gums. I keep biting on my temporary upper plate over and over again. It's kind of safisfying to do this at the time. I'm sure it's not good for the recent bone graphs that were placed in preparation for implants. Maybe it has to do with anxiety that you are feeling. I think for me it's my anxiety. Wondering how you're doing?

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I suffer badly with agrahobia and depression so I only have to think something doesn't look right with my mouth and I'm messing or buying a hundred and one mouthwashes etc.

I also have depression and worry about a lot of things. I'm never worry-free
Please take care of yourself the best you can.
