OW! My gum/tooth hurts :(  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I had a crown installed last week and now my gum around the base hurts. I looked at it and the gum skin is all white. I've got an appt tomorrow, but what can I do in the meantime? I think the gum isn't healing from all the messing around they did. Did someone mention something about clove oil once? I can't remember....

Maybe too late now, but yes, clove essential oil applied with a cotton swab can help with the pain. You can hold the swab there for several minutes and get a kind of numbing effect.
