In between my right 5-6 teeth the gum in between has been hurting really bad. Every time I eat something with that part of my mouth it hurts so bad even just to chew gum on that side. I think I could have food up there but I have flossed many times since it starting hurting and it hurts really bad to floss. I was wondering if you think I do just have food in my gum or if it might be something more serious?
Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. You are suffering an infection in your gingival. See your dentist for a deep cleaning and root planning. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Use an interdental brush to clean the spaces. Take Doxy-1 for 3 days to control infection and a OTC painkiller. Regards.
