Suggest treatment for painful lesions in the gums
Patient: I have a few painful holes in my gums around my teeth, and today a new one appeared, rather large on my bottom back gum. Im quite worried, and i have no insurance.  I practice good oral hygiene twice a day, and floss before i go to sleep, i brush lightly, and try to get all teeth for the equel amont of time front and back, bottom and top.  Do you know what this may be?

For this you should consult dentist and go for investigations done IOPAxray if it is periapical infection then go for Root canal treatment and if due to periodontal problem then go for Oral prophylaxis .Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
