How to get rid of a gum boil
Get the boil surgically removed.
If you have chronic gum boils, or gum boils that are cosmetically embarrassing, you may want to consider getting them surgically removed. This can greatly increase the chance of the boil not returning again.
You'll need to speak with a gum specialist, such as a periodontist, about this option to see what they recommend. Your dentist or gum specialist may recommend simply draining the boil instead of surgically removing it, depending on the location of the boil and how complicated it would be to remove it.
