What Causes Redness In The Gums Along With Swelling And Irritation?

My dentist is out of town for the week. I have swelling on my back left upper tooth that's very sore and red. This occurred 3 days after my dental visit. To clarify my gums were irritated after my denture mold but I thought it would go away but my gums swell bigger and are very sore. What do I do?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that swelling of the gums in the area of upper left back tooth area can be due to causes like any left over root piece, any deeply decayed tooth or food or foreign body impaction over the gums..

I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like X-ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done according to the cause..

As of now you can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkiller and topical application of antibiotic ointment and antiseptic mouthwash..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
