Gum pain

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi there, 

Recently had bad wisdom tooth pain and now the tooth has stopped hurting but it is still really painful around the gums. Hurts when I eat and open my jaw. Have taken bonjella and washing around the area with hot salty water. Any idea what else I can do to stop/ease the pain? If not when will it go??

    Oh, I know how it feels, recently I had a bad gum pain too because of my wisdom teeth (two in different places of my mouth). I went to the dentist Dublin Sandyford clinic. They have an amazing dentist team (you can find more information and register here http://sandyfordhealthcare.ie/services/dentistry/) . My doctor said if the pain doesn't go away,  try to wash my teeth gently, but be careful and if I see that bleeding starts, don't be scared about cleaning teeth a little more roughly. it helps to avoid bad gum inflammation.

    If it really bad, I suggest you go to see a dentist.. maybe you will need an operation..
