My gum in between my upper molars (the last two molars) hurt sooo bad its always painful and throbbing. As if the gums is squeezed in between. It is so painful and I think its swollen because everytime I try to put floss, the floss doesnt even completely insert because the gums will start to throb so bad. Please help???
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint it seems that there is localized deeper infection in the gums in that area leading to swelling and pain in gums as well as there may also be pocket formation that is loss of attachment of the gums from the bones due to infection leading to space [pocket] formation which further flourishes bacteria and causes deepening of the infection. Nothing to worry consult a dentist and get evaluated, and he can take an x-ray along with clinical evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and in case of gum infection deep scaling and curettage followed by antibiotics and painkillers will relieve. He/she will also check for cavities in any of the molar on the wall that lies in contact with the wall of the other tooth and such cavities at times are visible only in x-ray and not clinically and infection in tooth can also cause infection in the gums and cause swelling and pain in gums, and it can be treated by treating the tooth and filling it with a dental filling material followed by scaling and antibiotics and painkillers. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
