A gum infection should only be treated by a dentist or periodontist. They will do an evaluation including an X-ray to determine the cause of the infection. Then the appropriate treatment will be rendered. Please contact your dentist as soon as possible.
If it is something significant it is best to see your dentist
Simple gum infection caused by occasional food impacting or over flossing should go away by itself. You can swish your mouth with warm salt water to excelarate healing.Persistent gum infection can be caused by periodontal disease or tooth infection. The best advice is to schedule a dental appointment to diagnose your problem.
