Suggest Treatment For The Draining Infection In The Teeth

the papilla behind my two front teeth has been swollen and red for six months now, despite having antibiotics and using glyoxide. I think it's a cyst -the dentist said i didn't have a trace of an abscess on xray, but prior to developing the cyst, i had a draining infection from the tooth beside it. how can i get rid of this? my four front teeth feel loose. thank you.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swollen interdental papilla could be inflammatory gingival enlargement or it can be a gingival or periodontal abscess. it can be secondary to periapical abscess or cyst. since you are telling there is no evidence of cyst in the radiograph it can be a gingival enlargement. consult a oral physician to rule out above said conditions and if it is inflammatory enlargement cleaning of the teeth along with gingivectomy will be fine. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
