Suggest Treatment For Gum Infection
I was using an electronic toothbrush and I accidently hit my gum. Now I have a white pus. At first it was hurting for a week and now it doesn't hurt anymore even though the pus is still on my gum. I've had this for about three weeks now. Should I go to the dentist to check to see if my nerves are not damaged?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have injury by electronic toothbrush dont worry this white pus discharge from gums due to Periodontal Abscess formation.
Dont worry you do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily .
You can apply stolin gumpaint on painful gums .
Consult dentist for Oral prophylaxis and currettage.
Hope this will help you
