Suggest Remedy For Inflammation In The Gums
my right lower wisdom tooth has come out recently and a pocket has formed near that. The Tooth has fully erupted and a huge pocket has formed. When I brush, some blood used to come initially. Now a days I see pus and blood coming out from that pocket. Some pain and inflmation remains all the time. I have tried Betadine gargle for some time and also tried some antibiotics (amoxicillin - 5 day couse). Then the inflamation subsided but once i stop using those, the gum started flaring up again with the pus and blood. I have consulted a dentist and he suggested me to go for dental extraction. The teeth is healthy and fine. So I do not want to go for an extraction. So can you please suggest me any other alternative for this problem. I am 26/Male. No dental extractions done till now and no chronic disease history.
