The treatment of swollen gums in the elderly varies depending on the degree of swelling and pain. If the swelling and pain is only mild, then only a rinse treatment will be needed. If the swelling and pain is more pronounced and there is also significant probing for bleeding, then a rinse treatment is needed, along with additional antibiotics. These are mainly anti-anaerobic antibiotics, such as metronidazole, ornidazole or tinidazole. If the gingival swelling is very pronounced and accompanied by abscess formation with significant fluctuation, an incision under local anesthesia is required to drain the pus thoroughly before flushing. It is also necessary to add broad-spectrum antibiotics, that is, in addition to metronidazole, ornidazole, tinidazole, etc. For example, amoxicillin, cefuroxime, etc., so that the infection can be completely controlled.
