Tooth pain and perio
I was having pain in my tooth with swelling of gum. I consulted local dentist and she told it's due to periodontitis stage 2 and need scaling but due to covid no one is doing it currently. The medicine was for 1 week the swelling has reduced little.
I took the medicine prescribed and currently using sensodyne 2 times with hexidine/Listerine mouthwash daily.
Sometime I feel little pain now.
Kindly suggest how long I can continue like this and in how many days it becomes more severe. Also Any suggestions to keep it in check. Is there any chance of other issue with the problem not diagnosed by dentist
Attaching prescription and pic of my teeth.

Dear practo user
Don't panic, as per picture not much serious issue.
To reduce gum swelling do massage with alum powder twice a day.
Salt plus Warm water gargle 2-3 times day.
Continue regular brushing habits
Can continue these measure for 4 weeks.
