I have had itchy painful gum/tooth pain for over a month now. The pain now goes up to my right ear and temple. It's all located on the right side and not just one tooth can be pinpointed. I don't have the money for a dentist just yet and I've taken ibuprofen and sinus meds. Any other suggestions to hold me over?
The case presents like periodontitis... Please check whether there is bleeding during brushing or if there is any swelling of gums in the area or if there is pus on pressing over the gum in the area mentioned or any generalized teeth pain in that area. If that is the case Please do following 1. Brush twice daily with proper brushing technique 2. Use chlorhexidine mouthwash(do not swallow) twice daily 3. avoid snacks in between meals 4. try to avoid sugar foods 5. Pain killers can be used in proper dose only 6. Antibiotic course should be taken if there is infection it takes time to recover from this inflammation. also have a routine health check up. make sure u r not diabetic...
