Do warm salt water mouthwash and gargle. Brush properly. Consult with a dentist you may need scaling. Regarding throat problem, dentist will refer to more speciality if necessary.

Hello there! If you have swelling beside Ur throat please have a consultation with ENT DOCTOR FIRST to rule out any tonsillitis. Then it would be better to have a dental opinion. Thank you
