My gums have been inflamed for a few months. This is not funny as it may end up affecting my teeth. So I decided to reduce sugar from my life. I am trying to drink coffee without sugar. Hope this habbit will help with the health of my teeth.
But I still put milk into my coffee.
If you’re missing the sweetness, adding some cinnamon or vanilla can help give it that extra something without adding any sugar.
This is a good advice. I will look for it next time I go to the grocery.
Haha green6 … i am having black coffee with sugar in it …!!! With out sugar its tastes lifeless… hope u can cut sugar out of ur life… its also good for maintaining sugar level in our body too…!!!
I like sugar, too. But I have no choice but cut it out because tooth inflammation is too painful and costly for me.
I think you will get used to it. I always used to have one sugar in my coffee and now I have none. I don’t miss it anymore I love the coffee how I have it. I couldn’t go back to having sugar in it.
I see. Your experience gives me some light. I hope I will get used to it soon.
I cut out sugar in tea and can no longer have sugar in tea
It’s nice seeing you got out of the bed and post on this forum. Good morning to you, my friend. Wish you a nice day today.
I’m going to have a cup of coffee without the coffee. Seriously! But mouth problems are horrible. Good luck to you. 
I like my coffee black. You have to acquire the taste for it. But it’s good once you get used to it. I drink 6 to 8 cups every morning.
It’s a taste I got used to too. It gives you that energy boost in the morning and is ultra low calorie which is great if you are on antipsychotics.
I have cut sugar from my diet. Any carbs I have are whole grain too. Take no sweetners either. No sugar in coffee and tea was hard at first but is worth it. Tea with no sugar is more refreshing I think.
Thing is though cutting sugar is really hard. That stuff is addictive.
Do you floss? Not flossing is one of the big reasons people get inflamed gums. I had it for months and then started flossing. I bled a lot in the beginning and then my gums got better. My dentist told me to do it and not to worry about the bleeding.
Try it with milk. it tastes really good.
It’s really important to floss to reduce gum Inflammation and bacteria, not just from a dental hygiene standpoint but also to reduce the chance of bacteria migrating to other parts of the body such as the heart.
I take my coffee without sugar, just some whole milk.
It’s a good habit to stay away from sugar.
@green5, I would go to the dentist if I were you. Inflamed gums is no joke. It’s really, really important to floss every day too. This prevents inflamed gums. But if they are already inflamed, you need to see a dentist.
Acrylamide! It is in the news. “There’s a chemical in coffee that may cause cancer.”
They say tea (especially green tea) is a better alternative.
