Had Teeth Cleaned, Severe Pain, Receding Gums. On Sensodyne Gel. Why Is There Strong Reaction To Anything Hot Or Cold?

I had my teeth cleaned 6 days ago and have been in severe pain ever since. I do have receding gums on the upper teeth. I have taken ASA and and aneseptic mouth wash , salt water, ore gel and sensodyne toothpaste . It gives only very short relief. Not sure what else I can do, also can't stand anything hot or cold. I wanted to call my dentist at home, but didn't . The pain is over the top. I'm not a pill popper , so don't really want pain drugs. Hope you may have some ideas. Many Thanks Marci O.

Hello.By the symptoms you say, you suffer from Periodontal Disease.
It is a pathology that involves infection of gums and surrounding tissues.
In addition to what you are applying,is necessary to take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug by mouth.I treat my patients with Amoxicillin clavulanate 500/125 + Naproxen 500, both thrice a day when periodontal disease is the diagnosis.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
