I had my teeth cleaned 6 days ago and have been in severe pain ever since. I do have receding gums on the upper teeth. I have taken ASA and and aneseptic mouth wash , salt water, ore gel  and sensodyne toothpaste . It gives only very short relief. Not sure what else I can do, also cant stand anything hot or cold. I wanted to call my dentist at home, but didnt . The pain is over the top. Im not a pill popper , so dont really want pain drugs. Hope you may have some ideas. Many Thanks Marci O.
Hello. By the symptoms you say, you suffer from Periodontal Disease. It is a pathology that involves infection of gums and surrounding tissues. In addition to what you are applying, is necessary to take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I treat my patients with Amoxicillin clavulanate 500/125 + Naproxen 500, both thrice a day when periodontal disease is the diagnosis. Please consult your local doctor for a prescription. I wish you good health.(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
