gum soreness after 3 months of being debraced

Is it normal for gums to start hurt out of now where after being debraced for three month. It's hurting on both sides where the molar bands were, it hurt like I've just gotten them removed.

If your gums hurt, there is probably a reason. It could be an infection. Or it simply could be that you are brushing way too hard in those spots.

YOu definitely want to get this looked at.
You should see your regular dentist as it is most likely a gum issue and he/she will be better equiped to handle it.
