Floss daily, use listerine rinse and use Anbesol gel to help w/ pain. If not better in 3 days , see your dentist.
Hi, If your gums hurt it could be a generalized gingivitis or if its localized it could be a periodontal infection. What you need to do is come into the office for the required x-rays to evaluate the bone and also evaluate the soft tissue, the gums. Treatment would depend upon the examination findings but it should be looked at as soon as possible. Sincerely, Dr. Druckman
