Question

My gum is all swollen where the tooth was. I had it pulled do to an abcess. How can I get rid of it. Thanks in advance

Daniella you dont have a question up

It swells every couple of months

Answer 1

Try oil of cloves. Available over the counter at the drug store.

And, yes, see the dentist as soon as possible!

Good luck! :-))

Answer 2

It sound like it's infected. You want to get to your dentist immediately. You need to start a regimen of antibiotics, which will get rid of not only the swelling but the pain as well. You may want to talk to your family (if you are still under their insurance) about seeing a different dentist. Don't put it off any longer. Infection can turn into something really much worse than just a swollen gum and toothache.

Answer 3

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at
