Suggest Treatment For Gum Infection

My jaw hurts so bad. I have gum infection.. It sometimes bleeds and hurts so bad that it gives me terrible pain. I use pain killer pills and brush my teeth regularly. I want to know whether my gum infection is not too serious and whether it can recovered soon with medecines and brushing.

Hi
The tell tale sign of unhealthy gums is the bleeding associated . You need to visit an oral physician and preferably a periodontist so that the treatment can be done according to the severity of the condition .periodontal therepy usually involves deep scaling/curettage and sub gingival medication either through medicated chip insertion(like perio chip) or local application . This may take a couple of appointments . i strongly advice you against any unprescirbed usage of painkiller in brushing.
Pain along with bleeding is associated with moderate-severe periodontal disease ,so pay a visit to a dentist at the earliest to stop further detoriation .
rest assured with proper treatment and timely intervention your gum condition can get back to normal .take care .
