Abscess gum, should i wait till swelling goes down?

Abscess gum: Try warm salt water (1 tsp salt w 8oz cup warm water (not if you have high blood pressure) than see a dentist asap, it could be periodontal disease, root canal etc...

No!: See a professional soon to either have it evaluated and treated asap.

No: Vitis your dentist to eval what is the cause of the swelling before it goes down (if it goes down, sometimes it does not go down without treatment).
