I have a Gum Abscess, how can i treat this? It is quite soft to the touch and has swollen profusely but retains normal gum color. My side of my mouth has swollen because of this as well. I do have a very rotten tooth right above it and Im guessing its the cause since its roots were sore to the touch.
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have swollen gums it is due to Sublingual calculus, due to Periodontal problem, you have Periodontal Access, For this swollen gum you should consult dentist and go for Scaling and Curettage done As you said that you have decayed teeth Also in upper arch also which is painful to touch you have Periapical Access in that better you go for extraction of that tooth, For swollen gums you Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Consult dentist for Oral Prophylaxis Hope it will help on you Wishing you good health Regards
