I've had good luck with using a cotton pad cut into a small enough piece to hold against the gum. I use a combination of CS & DMSO & a drop of tea tree oil. I alternate with Olbas salve. You can get this in some health food stores. If they don't have the salve, try the oil. It's great for drawing out inflammation. I currently have a gum abscess that finally came to a head. I punctured it with a needle dipped in CS / DMSO and then applied hydrogen peroxide.
I had a much worse gum abscess almost exactly a year ago but was on a trip & only had CS with me. It did not work as well alone as with DMSO / hydrogen peroxide / Olbas / tea tree oil.

I am waiting until my dental insurance kicks in this summer. What I have been doing is applying DMSO and CS directly to the gum or holding it in my mouth for as long as I can and then I swallow it. It is definitely keeping the abcess in check, I have no pain when I do this at least once every few days. If I ignore it the pain comes back. I do not know if I might be able to totally clear the abcess done frequently enough. I think the tooth is dead, but I am not clear on that either.
