If your gum pain is caused by gum disease, treatment methods will depend on the type and severity of the disease. If the disease is caught in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended.
If your gum pain is caused by injury, treatment methods will also depend on the trauma. In most cases, the dentist will clean the wound to scrape away any debris. They may also give antibiotics to prevent infection or sedatives to help with the pain. Some treatments may also include stitches.
