It sounds like you have a gum infection or tooth infection that is localized And know it won't kill you but you do need to get an dental appt to really get rid of the problem. I would Floss and rinse with salt water 1 cup to 1 tbl spoon and rinse after every meal and bedtime. I would also rinse with peroxide and dilute it with water a mouth wash . I would do this a couple times a day till your Dentist apt. Take some Advil for the inflammation and if its sore. Best wishes and I hoped I helped a bit.
Reply:I would call around to all of the dentists you can find in the phonebook and see if any will take your insurance. When I had an infected tooth, all my dentist did was give me penicilin(sp) until the medicine was gone, then fixed my tooth.





You can use water %26amp; salt, listerine..try doing anything you can for right now. Most of the time you won't die from a tooth infection, but it's also not good on your body either.





I had my infected tooth for almost a year before I did anything about it. So I don't think you're at risk for death, but you still need to get that tooth checked out.
Reply:use warm water and salt to rinse, floss around area,


rinse again


go out and get some peroxide or have someone get you


some 3% peroxide and rinse and swish with that





If you cannot go to dentist call your Medical Doctor


and have her/him check your gum tissues and perhaps


they will prescribe an antibiotic to help with the infection


the infection(if it is infected) will drain you making you tired


etc.. call the doctor NOW maybe they will call in prescription


as it is an emergency...explain in detail your situation


they do not generally call in pain meds as too many


abuse those but anitbiotics if prescribed must be taken


until they are all gone not just for a few days


good luck


and floss floss floss
Reply:Do you brush and floss on a regular basis. Or do you just waite until something like this happens? I'm not trying to be a smarty pants. It just sounds like a bad case of the gum disease gingivitis to me. My mom is a dentist and she says that you should really get someone to check it out.She also said not to use peroxide......idk why she just said it
Reply:go to the ER and have them check you out if it is infected they will give u a shot of penicilling or amoxicillin or some type of antibotic and no the warm salt water wont clear an infection.and no it shouldnt be going into ur blood stream
