My gums are really sore and my teeth very sensitive to cold and hot, I was using a tooth pick on Monday which I never do and possibly over did it, I woke up with red blotches on my cheeks the next day. I thought possibly it was my allergies. Would an antibiotic help?
Hello, Sore gums and sensitive teeth can be due to gum infection or gingivitis along with hypersensitivity of teeth. So my suggestion to you is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical examination and investigation like x-ray should be done. In case if there is an infection in gums, then you can be advised a deep scaling followed by antibiotics like Metronidazole and gum paint massage over the gums. Also, you should use anti-sensitivity toothpaste. You can apply it over the teeth for half a minute and then brush with it. You should blink your food to room temperature and then have it. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
