A member asked:
My gum is in so much pain, help needed. how to treat this without a dentist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brush, brush, brush: Good brushing and flossing will help to establish drainage. Salt will furher draining the area and help with the infection. This will help the pain and bleeding symptom but will not cure or reverse the disease. Schedule with your dentist once your financial situation resolved. Go to dental school or even talk to your dentist. He or she may help you with your financial situation.
