question: I recently had a dental appointment for the first time in over a decade due to my fear of the dentist. I was told I have Periodontal disease and my next appt. is to have one side of my gums scraped. Its not Til the 17th of June but for the last few days my teeth feel like they are coming out of my gums and I can't eat a thing without severe pain. Also my left lymph node is swollen and it hurts. What should I do?
