Suggest Treatment For Swollen Gums

Hi, my gums are swollen for the past week i took amoxicillin 500mg and naproxen every 8 hrs already for 5 days and it improves a bit but still the swelling has not gone. I only have the swelling in one of my tooth which is covered by tartar/plaque. Now, when i press on my gums with my tounge blood is coming out.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have swollen gum with bleeding dont worry this can be due to deposition of plaque and calculus at subgingival region of gums . I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for scaling and root planning .
Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day.

Hope this will help you.
