<human>: I have a persistent toothache. I brush and floss daily, but it keeps recurring. I watch what I eat as well, to avoid aggravating it. There is gum discoloration around the tooth as well. The pain hasnt been real excruciating yet, so Im hoping theres a way I can fix this problem without losing the tooth, since I have already have lost a few. I use mouthwash a lot to help kill the germs. It temporarily helps the pain, but eventually it returns. Is there an inexpensive way I can ease the pain and eventually heal the tooth?
<bot>: Thanks for your query, the features what you are giving looks like inflammation of the gums it can periodontitis, causing mild dull pain....it requires a thorough oral prophylaxis...consult a dentist to perform radiographs to rule out ant decay in the tooth...use of mouth wash clears the microorganism for a short period of time, but the hardened food debris called calculus will not b removed by brushing or flossing so consult a dentist...I hope my answer will help you.
