I read up & found that I maybe suffering from gum infection or GINGIVITIS. Dun tink it's decayed tooth cause I js went to the dentist 2 months bck & she did & x-ray on my upper right jaw & found no holes. Any suggestion on treating this infection quickly? Been having slight pain for abt 2 days, along the margin of the gums of 2 teeth & in between the teeth as well; gargling with oral-b mouthrinse also.

continue to brush your teeth even though it hurts
brush 2 x a day with toothbrush dipped into Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda
gargle with Listerine

Go to the dentist. Gum disease is serious as it can lead to heart disease and other complications are possible as bacteria invade the body through infected gums. A good oral hygiene program can prevent and possibly reverse this. And an electric toothbrush really helps!

If it doesn't go away in a couple more days, go back to your dentist and ask for a antibotiocs (spelling..sorry). If you let it go untreated it can spead to more of your gums and even your roots. The last thing you need is a infection teeth and gums.

JAYNE,
MAKE SURE YOU USE A SOFT OR EXTRA-SOFT TB AND DON'T VIGOROUSLY SCRUB THE GUMS. THIS SHOULD IMPROVE IN A FEW DAYS, IF NOT SEE THE DENTIST.
