Have Wakened Up

[JinnyJoan]

With a very sore left gum.  Am trying to swill with salt water.  Anything else to help.  Thanks

Some co-codamol, and a call to the dentist for an appointment.

place a strepsil beside it and suck slowly - it will numb it

While waiting smear on some gingigel or bonjela if you have some.

Your doing the best thing in my opinion to avoid infection. And take a pain killer that you know is suitable for you.

Hi JJ. Have you seen a dentist? x

[Barsel]

JJ if you wear dentures, leave them out and keep swilling with salt water if you can. If you are registered with a dentist, phone them and tell them it's an emergency.

[Karamia]

My mum swears by anbesol which is effective.

[Rosie29]

I agree with above suggestions - particularly of Bonjela  if you have any - until.you can find the cause.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably worth looking for the cause in the mirror.

In your shoes I'd not consider it an emergency or something to panic over unless you are aware of a possible reason that needs attention. Use the relief options stated above, monitor it for a bit.  It may just be how you slept on it.

Get some TePes or coctail stick and poke the old food out from between your teeth! I usually get this with meatparticles. Qick flossing and it improves immediately!
