How do you heal abscess gums?

Brush teeth as usual. But, swish with salt water (and spit it out) several times a day. Do not rinse after the salt water. NOTE: The salt mixture should only be strong enough just that you can taste salt in the water. Do not overdo the salt (sodium) because it can change your body's electrolytes.


How long does it take for abscess swelling to go down?

Actually, an abscess is a tricky thing. Most dentists and doctors won't do anything about it if you go to a hospital.

It's not the greatest tasting but it will help the pain a lot more than swallowing the pill, oh and try not to drink anything except water until it subsides.
