Yes, you can use mouth wash with an abscess on your gums. Using antimicrobial mouth wash can also reduce the infection and should be used daily. Another option is to rinse your mouth with sea salt and water.

A mouthwash containing alcohol, chlorhexidine gluconate, or other anti-microbial agent can heal gingivitis. But it can be less effective for more severe gum disease such as periodontitis.
