Hi I had gums getting red and inflamed in one area for a few years. Its going to be a year since I got a root canal in my front tooth. It was the worst experience ever.. I Have sensitive gums and that drill killed me.. I couldnt eat anything for 7 months bc of the pain than I started snapping my teeth which I couldnt help. I started to feel better started to eat solid foods and I was dying For potato chip.. Wrong move.. I must have nerve damage bc I still have pain and inflamation. My gums get super red and painful at night. I am going to see a specialist tomm.. For the gums! Bc I cant live like this anymore... The root canal I got done made it worse. I was think maybe I need to remove my tonsils?? Would that help. I feel like my teeth are in stress every time eat. I floss every morning and brush with regular tooth brush soft and use a electric tooth brush and tooth pick and after a meal. I feel like every time I eat something its a issue and ordeal. I make sure no food on my teeth. I am not a smoker or drinker & I have these oral issues! I just want to eat a meal with no pain & live my life with no pain in my mouth. This is extremely stressful. I dont use mouth wash bc of the mint flavor.i am allergic to mint, peppermint.. I tried salt water but I dont like the feeling it gives me on my teeth. Plus I only eat one meal a day not to both my gums... But it helps a little bit.. I am really young so dont understand why these issues! Help me out!
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, Red and inflamed gums shows signs of infection when you go to the specialist tomorrow get an x-ray done of the involved tooth, also could be possibility of presence of high points in the filled tooth, if so it could be trimmed to normal, take tab almost c TDS and tab diclofenac P TDS for 3-5 days, at home take lukewarm saline NAD antiseptic mouthwash rinses, go for complete mouth scaling and polishing, avoid eating from the involved site, maintain a good oral hygiene.... Hope you find this as helpful, Take care!
