Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Puss Coming From Gums
Hi,
I am 21 weeks pregnant and have one very deep pocket on my front tooth, I think it is pyorrhea. I am going in for another deep clean on Friday but i'm worried my tooth is going to fall out. The rest of my teeth are perfect the dentist said and it is probably due to my tongue piercing I had in my teens. What can I do to get rid of the puss coming out of my gums and get the swelling down? It's ruining my life.
Thanks
Charlene
