Hello. I am a guy who is 19 years old. I was at the dentist a week ago because he had to pull out one of my teeth. Since then, my gums have become swollen and inflamed. It doesn't hurt me that much but this is still annoying. Do you think that I don't have to go to my dentist? I will need some advice. Is this normal? Thank you for your time.
I think that this isn't normal. You just have to go to dentist to check this thing up. The inflammation may become an abscess, and that can be extremely complicated thing for you. You probably don't need pain relievers but if you wait you might even need those eventually. Go to your dentist because that is why he is there for. Good luck.
