Abscess Gum, Using Peroxide, Listerine, Salt Water, Bleed Stop When Swish. Healing Time?
I've got an abscess gum and it's only 2 days old. I've been brushing my teeth twice a day, then usimg peroxide with it wateres down a small bit, mouth washing with listerine mouth wash, then using salt water. My gum starts to bleed after I brush from the abscess but stops when swish with peroxide. I was wondering if I keep doing this how long will it take for the abscess on my gum to go away?

Hello,
If you have bleeding gums and know that There is abscess,then you have to take a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatories.
Consult a dentist for the prescription because without the antibiotics,it would not heal.
Thanks
