What are the methods to overcome gum swelling?
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female, 5.1 feet tall, and weighs 176 pounds. I have been experiencing swollen gums with extreme pain for approximately two days; the gum swelling lasted for four days. However, I did not take any medication, except for simply rinsing my mouth with saltwater. I have experienced swollen gums before, but it went away on its own and was not that bad.
Kindly help.

What precautions should be taken during physical activity right after root canal treatment?
Hi doctor,
I had the first part of a root canal done today with a temporary filling. I am feeling no pain anymore in the tooth. Am I okay to run or exercise today, six hours after the procedure? I had pain in my gums for four days before seeing my dentist. They said it was infected and likely caused by a fracture in the past. Please suggest.

What could cause a shock-like sensation in the chin after a root canal treatment?
Hi doctor,
After an unsuccessful root canal, when I move my lips to the side, it feels like there is hair running from the chin up into the lip, and when I move it, it is as if there is a pull on it. It is a strange sensation I definitely did not have before. It is akin to a light electric shock. It has been about two days since I discovered I still feel this. I also feel it even more if I press my finger on the side of my chin, then this sensation spreads out even more. The reason I say it is from the root canal is because when the anesthetic was injected, I felt an immediate sensation of this kind of little shock but stronger in my lip. The tooth that was attempted at being treated was fifth from the center on the bottom jaw, on the right side. Please let me know if this can be treated. I am in great distress.
Please help.

I have had bad breath for more than a year. I could sense the foul odor from one of the artificial crown. I am afraid of getting near someone as the odor is too foul. I have had numerous crown restorations in the past ten years.
