Mild gum pain and inflammation
I have been experiencing some gum pain in my right molar since two days. There's redness too. I have been rinsing mouth with salt and warm water. It relieves the pain.
Today I noticed that a part of the tooth is detached and is stuck with the gum.
Kindly guide.

Good morning mam,
I have gone through your description.
This swelling gum is due to erupting Wisdom tooth.
Wisdom tooth is erupting between age of 17 to 25 years.
Erupting Wisdom tooth causes swelling in gum which causes pain.
Pain increase while chewing.
Pain increase while swallowing.
You may have radiating pain in your ear neck and head.
For pain relief,
1. Warm salt water gargles three times a day.
2. Do Good Brushing, Maintain that area completely clean, you may have pain or bleeding while brushing it's a quite normal thing, Don't get food stuck over that area.
3. Capsule Mox 500Mg 3times a day for 3 days.
Tablet Brufen 400Mg 3times a day for 3days. Avoid medicines if you have any allergy from penicillin and ibuprofen.

Dear Patient
It may or may not be a part of the tooth as the last portion of your last molar is not visible. It could be Wisdom tooth or cavity to just trauma to tooth.
As the pain is not subsiding despite taking those gargles.I advice you to get it checked personally.
