I went to a new dentist and got a temporary put on last Wed. here it is Sun. night and I'm still having pain in the gums. The dentist mentioned he was going to cut some of the gum due to decay and I know I have gingivitis, but now I feel a slight hole in my gum line and on the other side feels a tad puffy. I get the perm crown on next Mon. but plan on calling the dentist tomorrow to see what he suggests. I wouldn't mind coming in for him to check it out, he's just right up the road. Going to try and use my water irrigator and see if that'll help some.
