A member asked:
Can you tell me is herpetic gingivostomatitis bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No. This is a self limiting infection, usually lasting 14 days, then it heals up. You can get recurrence of this infection from time to time, but it is usually limited to one side of the mouth at a time, and just on the tissue that is directly covering bone.
