How Long Does A Gum Blister Take To Heal?
I had a root canal on my front tooth and had a blister on my gum over the tooth next to it. I've been taking Keflex for a week but see little improvement ..the dentist also opened it up ..just wondering how long it takes to heal..I've been rinsing with warm salt water too.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
The blister you have described suggests an ulcer .I would advice you to continue with the medication prescribed by your endodontist.
For the lesion ,apply mucopain or mucogel two or three times a day till it reduces.Reduce spicy and hot food.If you smoke ,reduce smoking.Do antiseptic mouth wash gargling.The ulcer should heal with a week .
Hope this was helpful and you have a speedy recovery.
Thanks and regards.
