Treatment to Reduce Gum Swelling | Oral Dental Hygiene

Question: I have swelling in the upper part of my gum and mouth area above a tooth that just broke. The swelling and tenderness was there before the tooth chipped. Could the swelling and tenderness be due to this bad tooth?  I know that seeing a dentist is my best option, but right now I have no job or insurance.  Are there any home remedies?

Answer:

It is possible that the swelling and pain, that you suffered from was due to a bad upper tooth.

The outer portion of the tooth, which is embedded into the gum is referred to as the cementum.
It is possible that a pre-existing cavity in that tooth weakened the structure of the tooth. This might have caused the tooth to break off from the gum.
A molar tooth has more than one root. So even if one root has decayed and fallen off the other root can be retained. This is probably why you feel that the tooth has chipped, as a part of the tooth has been retained.

Treatment for Gum Swelling:

• There is very little that you can do to manage the condition at home. A dentist may require to do a root canal, in order to remove the other roots of the entire tooth, as it may cause problems at a later stage.
• Maintain utmost oral hygiene. Avoid acidic beverages and foods.
• Use antibiotics (Amoxicillin) and anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen) to control oral infection from spreading further and lower the pain.
• You could try homeopathic remedy Magnesium Phosphoricum 3x, 4 pills every 4 hours. This will reduce gum swelling and also alleviate the oral pain.
