You can take cefuroxime dispersible tablets or Qingwei Huanglian pills and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, metronidazole is also very effective in preventing swollen and painful gums.

Then apply 2% iodine glycerin or iodine tincture and fill the tooth. Apply 3 times a day until gums heal.

Things to note when treating gingivitis:

1. Establish a work and rest system that adapts to seasonal changes. Rinse your mouth more often, brush your teeth frequently, overcome the bad habit of mouth breathing, and develop the habit of defecation in the early morning. Eat regularly, chew slowly, and eat more vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, and fungus. Eat fruits in moderation, such as hawthorn and apples.

2. The correct way to brush your teeth is the simplest and most effective way to prevent gingivitis. You should brush your teeth along the long axis of the teeth, brush the upper teeth downwards and the lower teeth upwards, and brush every tooth surface. This way of brushing your teeth can not only clean the teeth but also massage the gums and promote blood circulation in the gums.
