I am 14 years old and I have been experiencing some pains on my second molar tooth. It has recently started growing and the gum around it was inflamed. Also the inflamed gum covers most of the tooth. It hurts when i close my mouth, eat food, and when I spit out water while brushing my teeth. I have been brushing,flossing, and rinsing my mouth with mouth wash, but that doesnt seem to make the problem any better. I would like to know what I can to help the gum less inflamed. Thank You.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Initially, cause of inflammation has to be evaluated clinically by a dentist. Get thorough scaling done. If there is deep caries, get root canal treatment done. Pus has to be Chat Doctor. Take amoxicillin along with analgesics. If there is periodontal infection, root planning has to be done. Meanwhile, brush and floss your teeth daily. Maintain oral hygiene well. Hope these suffices.
