Beverly, if it's not too painful, salt water rinses can't hurt and might help. See if you can get Celtic or Himalayan salt.

Get off Clindamycin if you can! It nearly killed 3 people we personally know!

Clindamycin can give you CDiff .... because you are allergic to penicillen

I would be rinsing my mouth with apple cider vinegar the mother lode. And eating Honey.

I would spray Colloidal Silver on the spot and also drink a little. God bless and help you! Also, I agree with Patty Lamb to use honey and apple cider vinegar as well.

i had surgery for a radicular cyst that formed at the root tip of an unsealed crown (root canal)

Beverly...anytime I have any kind of soreness in my mouth I take L-Lysine. It's an amino acid our bodies don't make, but we need it.

Propolis Tincture.

Perhaps it was trapped fungus and it found it's way out via your gums, it was your first instinct. If it is stubborn it may have a biofilm in which one could try swishing with xylitol (kills biofilm), antibacterial...

Manuka honey in particular... with the acv.

Parasite cleanse.

Rinsing with hydrogen peroxide works for me.

My gums get sore and left unchecked, it turns into ulcers in my mouth, with huge holes that look like burns, and I belive is connwcted to my diverticulitus. If I eat a raw vegatable, get immediate diarrhea, then the ulcers start. Ive learned to watch tomatoes and spicy foods, take digestive enzymes and colloidal silver, it helps. Gums will still be sore, but no painful huge ulcers and holes. Lysine and peroxide also.

You could try making your own mouthwash by soaking frankincense tears in organic vodka. Just throw some in the bottle n the tears will dissolve into the vodka, you can also add olive leaf extract (which is an anti-fungal), myrrh tincture etc but you have to have edible grade quality. You can put this on a 1/2 cotton round n soak it on the area as needed and that may help as well. After the tears have dissolved some pour it into a jar n add about 1/3 distilled water and then just leave the remaining vodka & tears in the main vodka bottle n store that for when your mouthwash runs out.

I would always use a clean jar once my jar empties rather than refilling because there is a portion of water in all alcohol making it so it is most likely susceptible to a certain amount of bacteria of course. I think the Dentist’ have antibiotic shots you may be able to request as well if you prefer that route. Also turmeric is a blood purifier n can be put directly into empty capsules.

Teeth problems can be serious so if you cannot resolve your problem then your should most likely have it checked. I believe Ginger is also anti fungal and I like blend it in a little water with xilotol & stevia & then add Perrier water. You can also just put organic ginger in an empty capsule.

Check on Earth clinic : Lichen Sclerosus (Planus)?

If it is an inflammation or fungus try thyme or sage they are effective against bacteria and are gentle to your natural beneficial mouth whip. You can chew some fresh sage leaves, often during the day, or dip it with essential oil.

DO NOT use alcohol it kills your natural bacteria culture, and avoid any junk food, white flower sugar meat. Go vegetarian
Brush with coconut oil mixed with backing powder.

Tee tree oil and castor oil would also be an option.

For me it is hard to believe that honey should be an option, and be aware of fake honey (common in US) burned sugar.

Good luck.

Thank you everyone for the help! I never got on to find my post until today while I was searching for more help! Unfortunately, the Biopsy came back that I had Stage 4 Cancer in my jawbone. They wanted to do surgery immediately but I held off for a few weeks and went under the care of a Homeopathic Dr and took a load of healthy products. But it was spreading fast so I gave into a 20 hr Surgery on Nov 2 2020..

They removed my right jaw and part of my lip and built me a new jaw with bone from my leg...plus Metal...I came home on Nov 11.

Part of the area that was very fragile on my chin did not take and so they had to do more surgery on Nov 20. This time it took and healed nicely. They removed the cancer 100%...but as a precaution the Oncologist suggested Radiation Therapy...

.I declined and my Radiologist agreed with me that it was not necessary but that I should do a CT Scan every 3 months...I just had my second one and he said I am doing so well that I can wait for 6 months. I just noticed a small sore on the area of my chin where they had to redo the surgery...it turns out that it is an infection from the metal. They sent me to an Infectious Disease Dr and they want me to take several antibiotics and for maybe a few years...

I am so upset because I have always stayed away from all medicines and esp antibiotics. They also want to do another surgery and remove the part of metal that is by my chin...because they say it will continue to get infected.

I am taking a Green Tea extract, a mixture of Organic Garlic, Turmeric and Manuka honey. I am hoping I can just get rid of the infection so they won't do another surgery. I know I probably made this sound very confusing because I didn't want to end up writing a book so just wrote the main things. I have always been healthy, never get sick with colds or flus or any aches or pain...but I have had cancer 2x and Survived.
