Treatment Of Sore And Swollen Teeth In Adolescents Aged 17 Years?
a few weeks ago my tooth hurt and thank God it healed. But yesterday my teeth hurt again for a few days and I’ve been taking medicine even though the medicine doesn’t work. And the next day my gums where my teeth hurt yesterday are swollen and my cheeks are swollen too. I’m 17 years old

Hi.
Toothache can be caused by a variety of reasons. Toothache should be checked directly by a dentist, so that the dentist can provide the right therapy according to your situation.
A sore and swollen tooth may be due to a gingivitis. Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis in most cases can be caused by a lot of plaque in the gum area. In addition, gingivitis can also be caused by an infection of the gums. Gingivitis is actually a harmless thing, but if not treated it can cause loose teeth and fall out, besides gingivitis can also cause swollen cheeks.
But apart from that, the situation you are experiencing can also be caused by other causes such as:
cavity
Tooth abscess
loose/cracked teeth
Therefore, to determine the exact cause of the condition you are experiencing, you should immediately consult a dentist so that further examination can be carried out.
It is recommended that you brush your teeth regularly. Use an antiseptic mouthwash regularly. Avoid consuming foods/drinks that are too hot or too cold. Do not smoke.
