How long will this gum infection last? :(?!
Question: How long will this gum infection last!? :(!?
on wednesday i went to the dentist because my bottom left wisdom tooth that had partially erupted some time ago, was now painful and swollen!. dentist said it was quite a common gum infection (peri!.!. something) and gave me antibiotics and a mouth wash! he said the tooth would come through fine and didnt seem to think it was impacted or needed to come out!.
so iv taken antibiotics and used the mouthwash wed afternoon, yesturday and this morning!. and i nolonger need to take painkillers but the swelling seems worse now that it was on wednesday!.!.!.!.
so how long does it take for the swelling to go down!?
is it that straightforward or should i expect some puss etc :S
will it sort itself out!?
this is really making me miserable now because iv only been able to eat soup and mash and icecream for the last few days as the swelling is stopping me from closing my mouth properly and i cant even chew on the otherside :(

Pericornitis, it's important to clean very well around the erupting tooth also!. Did your dentist give you a little syringe you can fill with water or mouthwash and squirt under that swollen flap!? If not, you can go to your local pharmacy and ask if they have irrigating syringes!. Constantly rinse the area to flush out food debris and bacteria!. They are great tools to help it heal faster!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You have periodontal disease so it will take years for the gums to heal and restore themselves!. You will need to have regular deep cleanings, called scaling!.
