Hello, I noticed a pus filled spot on the inside gum of one of my bottom back teeth. It disappeared after brushing my teeth - so I imagine I must have popped it. It reappeared this afternoon, and has just disappeared again! I think it is just bursting very easily. I am in no pain.  I have about a month before my insurance can cover dental work - should I pay for immediate treatment? Thank you for your help.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Gum swelling could be due infection in your gums.it requires professional cleaning of teeth.Also, maintenance of very good oral hygiene is very important in this case. Gentle brushing after each meal will dislodge food debris and prevent further infection. Please do frequent warm saline rinses. This will reduce gum infection, also use antiseptic mouth rinses twice daily for fifteen days. Local application of gum paint will help minimize the infection. Following the above said measures can minimize your gum problems. But please ensure that it requires professional attention for complete recovery. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
