Anything besides salt rinses to get rid of gum infections?

[albatros]

I've got a gum infection again where I have a loose flap of skin covering over where my wisdom teeth have pushed up but not out through the gums. This is a regular occurance Salt sometimes works and othertimes I have to get antibiotics.
Does anyone know of anything else I can use to kill the infection plEEEEEEEEEEEase

albatros - do you drink spirits? - you might find a good whisky does the job, and is a tad more enjoyable!

Hope it settles soon.

I highly recomend corodyl gel. I can now open my mouth wide enough to bite a cream egg and am not in pain

I can't drink spirts I rather overdid it in my younger years and just the smell makes me queasy

oh good , bought some today ! Have a pusy lump at base of a front tooth and can't see dentist until Friday.

there have been so many tooth threads lately (i started one too!) poor us
