Mouth Ulcer/Abcess

[Invincible]

Hi Shelley

One of my kids has a large looking ulcer on his gum by one of his milk teeth (It's one of the molars) it's swollen .. maybe an abcess.
He keeps picking at his teeth with toothpicks because they irritate him, so I'm not sure if he has a splinter stuck there or it's because the milk tooth is just rotten.

I spoke with the dentist about this in a visit a couple of weeks ago and he said it's better not to pull a milk tooth out because the adult tooth may not grow straight if we did that.

All I have is clove oil. Anything I should be doing? It's causing him some pain and a lot of discomfort.

Thanks in advance.

I looked on the FAQ - not sure what canker sores are - similar to mouth abcess? .. but I gave him 22mg of zinc, cod liver oil plus some potassium broth with some brewer's yeast and a couple of ounces of kefir yoghurt for breakfast.

Cankor sores are usually on the inside of the bottom lip, but they can appear just about anywhere. Hopefully that's all he has. If it's an abcess or more of an infection type thingie, then swishing with tea tree oil or colloidal silver or GSE would be best. The testimonies about the oil swish are quite positive for abcesses.
