healing gum infection naturally

The dentist changed my antibiotic to something stronger and cleaned out the area a bit. On Saturday after Thanksgiving I was in the dental chair again. My gum around the area was so swollen and sore. Felt like infection was trying to get out somewhere. The dentist opened up the extraction site, cleaned it out, packed it and told me to continue with antibiotics. I was in excruciating pain after the numbing wore off but the next day was better and the swelling seemed to be gone.

DOES MY PROBLEM NEED SURGERY OR SHOULD I JUST LEAVE IT? WILL IT HEAL AND THE GUM WILL GROW AND COVER IT NATURALLY? Please reply, thak you.

Hope everyone will share there amazing thoughts and suggestions on Dental maintaining there Teeth in a very healthy manner

The pain wakes him up in the middle of night. 10 days has passed with no healing. Is there any treatment? Does his gum get attached to the tooth again. He is 39 non smoker. Should he go to a general dentist or a specialist? Any recommendation is appreciated.

I have two failed implants due to infection which did not respond to Clindamycin. I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.

I tried to touch it with a q-tip but id doesnt want to detach that easily. What is it? Is it a normal healing process of the gum or is it a dead tissue or a scab? Im seeing my dentist next week, just wanted to be sure that it is not an urgent problem.

I had my upper left largest molar (not my wisdom) extracted last week I had felt on going nagging pain and soreness for over a week so visited the dentist today who said it was infected She cleaned the tooth and packed it and has given me antibiotics but i am now paranoid about it not healing. Obviously i will continue to clean my other teeth but is there anything i can do to help keep the infected tooth clean?

Hello Dr., Three weeks ago I had same day extraction/implant/temp. crown.on tooth #12. No infection (old crown fell off and remaining tooth was very soft), adequate bone. Oral Surgeon did a CT Scan prior to procedure and put me on post surgical preventative antibiotics and follow up exam everything looks good. I, however, have been having problems with some mild pressure and throbbing sensations in the implant area when I exercise /run.

It makes things worse and mouthwash can also be harsh on the healing process ! See a dentist, I have gum issues too always have, at 21 I had to have a scaling and antibiotics injected into my gum line because my gums are softer than they should be and tend to get infected easy.

The slow healing is a completely part of the immune system, but again, it depends on healing from what. Healing from a broken bone or extracted tooth is different than healing from the flu. The problem with working on your immune system is knowing what's what, becomes sometimes the immune system is overactive and needs to be tamped down and sometimes it's overactive and needs to be built up.

The abscess was caused by food that got into a pocket between his erupting wisdom tooth and gum (the gum got cleaned out). He was never unable to open his mouth or talk, so far no swollen lymph nodes or anything like that. His dentist originally said the infection was "minor" but I can't help but feel that it's a LOT more than minor if his cheek got irritated.

Just wanted to get back to you, I saw the surgeon, he said he thinks it is gum tissue healing after the tooth was cut out. He called it granulation though he said it did look like a fistula (infection) he said give it another week.

I had a gum infection about a month ago and the dentist put me on antibiotics and i took the full course. I thought that had got rid of the infection because i didn't have the vile taste in my mouth that i had. I worrying today because i can taste the taste i had when i had the infection. The other day i kissed and was intimate with a man and i thought it had cleared so i didn't worry about the infection that day.

hello, I had a gum graft done 5 days ago. they took skin from the roof of my mouth and stitched it to the gums where I am missing the tooth. (tooth #12) I am eventually getting a dental implant done, but I needed a gum graft done and then once it heals a bone graft done then finally the implant. my question is..... I have heard of some ppl feeling a lot better within days.. I have more pain now then I did the first cpl days? is this normal.

ve read that healing too quickly or not forming a blood clot can cause a dry socket and infection. should i be concerned?

I had surgery two weeks ago, and got a long cut (more like a long, deep gouge) along one of the mandibular tori from being intubated. The cut has slowly been healing with white granulating tissue being replaced with pink gum tissue, though it has not completely healed yet. I've been trying not to chew on that side, as eating irritates the cut. My jaw has been aching on that side the last couple of days.

I had the tooth extracted and they told me that the infection should clear up pretty quickly. So two weeks later the gum is healing nicely but the hard lump is still in place, they took a OPG x Ray and nothing showed up, as the dentist thought it could possibly be a Tory. So they said if it's still not gone in 4 weeks then we will refer you to a specialist. I'm worried that it is something serious as the x Ray does not show anything to do with bone which means it must be tissue.

That area still hasnt healed and gums are beginning to surround my molar (tooth 31)? Also the inner lining of my mouth near my jaw line is a blood red. Is this an infection? Should I seek a dentist out asap?

m wondering if my lowered white blood count or anything like that might impact my healing or resistance to infection. Is it at all preferable (even marginally) to reschedule for later? Thanks!

It seemed ok but about 2 months ago a small hole appeared on the gum in front of this teeth which sporadically leaks pus and the tooth feels sore now and then (with varying intesity of pain). My dentist has prescribed 2 courses of amoxicillin now but this has not fixed the problem. Any advice on what I should do now? I don't want to have the tooth out as it is a front bottom one.

spread of the infection to sinus cavities, ears and other vital areas plus spread of the lymphatic system and septicaemia.

I had 2 doses of augmentin yesterday to help clear the infection. And the soft tissue of the gum that was really swollen has seemed like it went down a little.

yesterday i had two teeth pulled due to a gum abscess. I was'n t comfortable about this. I thought if there was infection in your mouth you should'nt have teeth pulled, anyway I have a swollen chec. I am taking medication two different kinds. Three times a day. Is this normal after having teeth pulled.

If it continues to swell, I'd go back and get a prescription for an antibiotic. Usually the swelling should slow down on the third day, if its increasing on the third day, it may indicate an infection is occurring. As for the loose tooth, generally after flap surgery, the teeth may feel looser than normal but it should tighten up some. Its hard to say how much though.
