What medicine treats toothache and swollen gums?

I have toothache due to cavity and I feel like that gum is also swelling so can you suggest medicine for this problem.

Answered on 23rd July '24

The tooth starts to ache which suggests that you may have a cavity. If you do not take care of it properly, it may go on to the neighboring teeth, thus causing the recurrence of the problem. This happens because the bacteria are attacking the affected tooth and the gum. The main thing you need to do is to avoid sweets to cut off the bacteria that are contributing to the problem. In particular, ibuprofen, an over-the-counter medicine, and sometimes a prescription, are all good options.

See a dentist as soon as possible. Take pain relief medication as prescribed to manage the pain. Do not delay seeking dental care, as untreated dental issues can lead to more serious problems.

Two days ago, I underwent dental surgery and had sutures in my gums as a result. Normal food wasn't an option. Everything I eat makes me feel nauseous, and I'm becoming weaker all the time. Also, a loss of appetite. Is there anything I may take in the form of supplements? Is there a particular one, that you'd want to proscribe.

"Is it safe and appropriate for me to use Chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly, diluted with water, as part of my morning oral hygiene routine, and if so, what would be the recommended concentration and frequency of use for my specific oral health needs?"

Male | 15

Absolutely, the use of diluted Chlorhexidine mouthwash with water in the morning routine of oral care can be safe and helpful. The usual concentration is 0.12% and it can be used once or twice per day. This mouthwash is good for inflammation of gums, plaque as well as bacteria in the mouth. To get the best outcome, do not swallow and follow directions cautiously.

are frenal appendixis or tags dangerous?

Male | 25

Frenal appendices or tags are generally innocuous and usually don’t need any other treatment. But if they cause discomfort or pain, it is recommended that you see a dentist of an oral surgeon for further examination and possible removal.

Can tooth decay be reversed?

Female | 39

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:


The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.


What are some ways to help this happen?

  • Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
  • Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
  • Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
  • Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
  • Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
  • Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
  • Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.


Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown
