hello guys/gals
I've had an abscess on my gum for quite a few months now ( no pain ) and hoped it would go away.
I went to the dentist today who's done an X-ray which has shown up some infection at the root.
The infection had found a path on my gum, hence the lack of pain, now I have a small hole on my gum. The dentist is going to perform a root treatment but has said I may lose the tooth if the hole doesn't close.
I have made the earliest appointment to get treatment started but it's not for 3 weeks.
I am wondering if there is anything I can do In the mean time to give me the best possible chance to save it ? Salt water ? Mouth wash ?
