I have swollen gums, they don't bleed when i brush/floss…?
Maybe someone can help me out with this one. I've been searching for about 1 month on this topic and nothing seems to hit the head of the nail.
About 1 month ago, my last tooth (upper teeth) on the left side of my face had a cut just above it on the gums, i went to the dentist, he cleaned it with the tool they use to scrape plaque, he cleaned behind the tooth etc. He said maybe i had some food trapped in-between the teeth and it was further than i could get to. Anyways, the swollen gums, and pain associated with it went away.
As soon as the pain and swelling went away from the top gums, the bottom gums, same exact location but just the bottom is swollen and it's painful, i am taking approximately 6 to 8 aspirins a day. I went back to the dentist, he took x-rays, cleaned my mouth with the scraper again. He said the tooth looks good,the root looks healthy. He's not really sure what it could be. Is it a mouth ulcer? I heard the dentist assistant mention Gingivitis level 4, but they didn't diagnose anything, and i figured that the tooth would not be healthy if i had Gingivitis, but he stated everything looks good and to come back in about 1 to 2 weeks if the swelling has not gone away. I've been bruising, flossing and using listerine after every meal. I've also been swishing around Hydrogen Peroxide 2-3 times a day. Any help would be much appreciated.
