Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Gums
I had a crown come off a year ago and a small piece if the top edge break off of the dead tooth. Now the gum is reaching over and trying to fill in the hollow of the tooth. It is often a bloody mess after chewing or cleaning since the sharp edge cuts into the overlapping gum. Looking for a low cost remedy, do I see an oral surgeon or a dentist?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the gums is because of chronic irritation resulting in over growth of the gums called gingival polyp or pulp polyp. Nothing to be panic, consult a endodontist and get it evaluated. You can get it restored with crown. Once the irritation is removed then the growth reduces automatically. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
