Swollen And Numb Palate Just Behind Top Middle Teeth. Have Gingivitis. Remedy.
Yesterday my front top gums started to hurt so I brushed my teeth and it helped for awhile but came back later on in the day and night. I used oragel to help with the pain and later on in the night I noticed that my palate was numb just behind my middle top teeth and seemed swollen. After waking up this morning it is still the same. I have brushed my teeth and used mouthwash but to no avail. Can anyone help me?
I do have gingivitis so you guys know

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Numbness may be due to application of that anaestetic gel.
Gingivitis causes swollen & bleeding gums.In such case you need to go for scaling.Also do warm saline rinses.
Use gum tone gel twice a day.
Use chlorhexidine mouth wash once daily.
Consult dentist for further check up.
