[|Human|] After getting rings put around my very back molars on each side, I ve got loose flaps of gum tissue peeking over the teeth and they are really sore to the point that I have to take constant pain medication to eat and talk in comfort. It s been two or three days already that they ve been hurting, will it eventually stop hurting or should I go back to the dentist to see it fixed? Would you have any idea how long it will be until the pain goes away? I m sorry for such a long message.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, I am glad you posted your query, i would like to inform you that following band application some sort of trauma to gums occurs which causes them to be sore .gums around the tooth become sore, swollen and sometimes bleeding occurs. But there is nothing to be concerned about, normally healing takes about 10 to 15 days.I would recommend you to see your dentist as he/she might prescribe an ointment which will promote healing and provide pain relief. Perform warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day) to relief pain and swelling.I hope I answered your query.I wish you good health, take care.
