The gum behind the last molar on the right side on the top of my mouth is swollen. like a big ball kind of. i dont have wisdom teeth yet. I want to know if their is a solution to getting rid of this without seeing a dentist cause i nor family have the money for it
Thanks for your query, the swollen gums could be because of the infection of the gums over the erupting wisdom tooth. It can be because of the trauma from the opposing tooth. You can take a course of antibiotics like doxycycline 100\u00a0mg twice daily for first day and once daily for next 4\u00a0days if you are not allergic to doxycycline...you can take any analgesic along with this, but this is not the permanent solution.for that you need to consult an oral physician and get radiograph done and get it diagnosed and treated.I hope my answer will help you.take care...
