I’m an 18yo female. I recently got a pretty bad gum infection but it’s causing me quite literally the worst pain I have ever experienced, I’ve been beaten up, stabbed, and had horrible periods but nothing even comes close to the pain I experience from this. It comes in waves and hurts so much I sometimes pass out, keep in mind I’m doing nothing that would irritate my gums so I’m not quite sure why this is happening. Is this a normal experience? my dentist said it should be fine but I don’t know
