What could be done to manage severe gum infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I reviewed your pictures (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Well, this can be fixed. Consult the dentist. They will perform some cleaning, and some medicines will work simultaneously. So do not worry, as this infection will not last long.

Try to maintain oral hygiene properly, and use mouthwash after brushing twice daily.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

I saw pictures (attachments removed to protect patient identity). And if there is no problem, you can wait. Do whatever I have suggested in my previous answers until you visit a dentist. The weekend is hard for everyone to find any care.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Without a diagnosis, we cannot say, but it seems like necrotizing gingivitis (a painful infection of the gums). Do you have any pain? Or any symptoms in the body other than gum problems. Because somewhere, I see calculus in the picture (attachments removed to protect patient identity) and gum infection.

I hope that you get your answer.

Then it could be a necrotizing type. But I cannot confirm until you visit a dentist. This could be acute necrotizing gingivitis if ulceration and lymph node swelling and fever are there. Maintain your oral hygiene properly and use any good mouthwash suggested by a dentist or pharmacist.

Also, you can take Metronidazole tablets (antibiotics) twice a day for the next three days.

I hope that you get your answer.

No, it will not get worse, but you may feel uncomfortable with these symptoms, so I am suggesting some precautions. It seems like necrotizing gingivitis, but it is not yet confirmed until you visit a dentist.

The dentist can fix tooth loss, and permanent damage can be stopped at this stage. The only permanent damage that can happen is losing the gums contour and blood flow. That can only happen if this is not treated right now. And tooth loss is not that easy until there is severe bone loss.

I hope that you get your answer.

Yes, the sooner you get treatment, the healthier your gums will be.
