gum pain
Sore mouth tissue
Gum pain is discomfort or soreness in the soft tissue surrounding the teeth.
It commonly results from gum disease, infection, injury, or irritation from dental work: I've had gum pain ever since I got my braces tightened.
The phrase typically appears in medical contexts or when describing symptoms to a dentist.
