Hi I was flossing my teeth and cut my gum. I had a deep cleaning a couple weeks ago and have kept up great dental health. I cut a little to deep, but the first day wasn t bad at all. The next couple of days it grew worse pain throbbing and I couldn t eat anything. Then it stopped hurting but woke up with a small nick in the gum. Now today there is pus...What should I do?
IIN regard to your query, while doing flossing extreme care should be taken not to hurt the gums. Sice you have mentioned you have good oral health your pus formation might be a gingival abscess which does not lasts for more than 48 hours, and it gets bursts by itself heals on its own. If symptoms persists please consult your periodontist for further help.
