Pain has started all of a sudden (when I woke up today morning) on the gum of upper middle tooth at the tip of tooth. Just near here I have a history of root canal done a decade before. Three years before I had pain exactly like this at the same spot on the gum. I was given tablets and in a week's time everything became fine. I also have crown on the middle 4 upper teeth. On the second right tooth, root canal was done. This root canal tooth is under the crown now. There is no pus build up. I see light redness near middle upper right gums. No swelling so far. Last time i.e before three years. Dental x-ray was taken. Found to have infection there. Was cured with tablets. Please suggest some. As in this pandemic I better avoid going to any clinic. (also last week I took albendazole tablet after many years just like that.) thanks a lot.

Hey there, kindly visit a dentist and get an x-ray done of all the teeth with the prosthesis and adjacent teeth also. Infection might have reccured in these teeth or adjacent teeth. Until then do warm saline rinses twice daily and gum massage using tan x gum paint twice daily. Brush your teeth twice daily using a soft tooth brush.
