Common Questions and Answers about Gum infection mouth

infection

Avatar n tn I had a gum infection about a month ago and the dentist put me on antibiotics and i took the full course. I thought that had got rid of the infection because i didn't have the vile taste in my mouth that i had. I worrying today because i can taste the taste i had when i had the infection. The other day i kissed and was intimate with a man and i thought it had cleared so i didn't worry about the infection that day.

Avatar n tn Hi megs222726, I just read your comments. First of all I wouldn't push on the outside of your gum. If you think there is a possible infection, I think I would get yourself an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Infections in the mouth can get quite serious. You should be seen by your dentist asap, i.e. some time within the next 2 - 3 days if not sooner. An acquaintance of our family passed away as a result of a tooth infection. He was faily elderly and had other issues.
Avatar m tn To whom it may concern, I have a growth in my mouth on the inner side of lower right gum wall. if i look at it looks like a whitehead inside my mouth. it doesn't hurt when I hit it. However the lower gland on the right hand side of my face is slightly swelled up when i feel it. could someone please let me know what it may be? I have been chewing alot of gum lately and i do smoke at the same time... thankyou. Regards.
Avatar m tn I have a question about bleeding gum after I brush. Is this a big wound or a superficial wound and how long does it take to heal and stop bleeding presuming it is minor bleeding. Also is scope a good mouth wash to control the problem .
Avatar n tn I am really freaking out because I read online that mouth ulcers/canker sores it could be a sign of an HIV infection. I had what I thought was protected sex a few weeks ago, condom did not break, but it was on sort of sloppy, urethra was def protected. I have had no fever, is this an ars reaction?
Avatar m tn Hi, I have a problem with a tooth and i'm kinda worried. For a couple of days the gum surrounding the tooth was swollen and painful to the touch, the swelling and pain went away, but it has been replaced by a rotten taste coming from the tooth that has been there for the past week. The taste has become milder but it's still there, the tooth itself is painless. I've been rinsing my mouth with vodka every night before bed to try to kill any bacteria that might be there.

Avatar f tn I recently notice my right side of my face around the gum area sowllen and I have a big red bumb were the tooth is .. What should I do?
Avatar m tn Hi.I have just found out that my friend has been sleeping with prostitutes for 9 yrs, some black girls and mostly un protected!!!!!! He was apparently high risk for hiv. He has recently been tested at 3 months for HIV and sti's at the nhs GUM clinic and they were negative but is there any other diseases he could have caught such as hep b/c. I want to make sure he is in the clear before we have a child around him.
Avatar m tn Thrush a fungal infection of the mouth causes white patches on tongue and inside of cheeks. It is best to get it checked by a PCP.He may refer you if needed. I hope it helps. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn She has x-rayed the tooth (it had a root canal years ago) and says that the root canal is intact, and that the infection is in a pocket between the tooth and the gum. She advised increased dental hygiene in order to shift the infection, and said that there was nothing else she could do beyond extracting the tooth. Since then I have been beyond meticulous in trying to keep my teeth clean.
Avatar n tn I am going to start off by telling you that I had a very rough childhood with minimal dental care. My teeth have always hurt. I am 22 now and have been taking care of myself since I was 15. I haven't been able to go to the dentist for years(I can barely keep my electric on). Well,that said,two years ago I had to have a emergency extraction of my last upper right molar wich was broken for a year(my wisdom tooth is settling into that spot,no pain).
Avatar m tn Hi, I had a gum abcess that needed 3 courses of antibiotics. Finally the lower right molar was extracted as this was the origin of the infection. This was 4 days ago but the abcess is still there and I have some throbbing pain in the lower jaw and ear on that side. The extraction site has white spots beside it.
Avatar f tn The tooth had apparently died long ago and caused an infection. It developed a sinus channel through the gum and finally drained on its own. Had I not had a crown on the tooth, I would have known something was badly wrong almost immediately. All I needed was a root canal and to have the crown reglued and that was the end of that little episode. No anesthesia needed for the root canal either since the nerve was long gone.
Avatar m tn However, last week I went to the dentist who told me that I apparently have an infection in my first molar/gum area. I had my wisdom teeth removed four months ago and it looks like the gum and bone tissue have not fully filled in yet which I guess created a space for an infection to form. I am worried that I might have had this infection at the time of my incident, and if so, do you think this would warrant getting an HIV test? Did it make a big difference in terms of risk?
Avatar n tn The dentist changed my antibiotic to something stronger and cleaned out the area a bit. On Saturday after Thanksgiving I was in the dental chair again. My gum around the area was so swollen and sore. Felt like infection was trying to get out somewhere. The dentist opened up the extraction site, cleaned it out, packed it and told me to continue with antibiotics. I was in excruciating pain after the numbing wore off but the next day was better and the swelling seemed to be gone.
Avatar n tn I have two failed implants due to infection which did not respond to Clindamycin. I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.
Avatar n tn Hello I have a flat white sore in my mouth on the bottom of my gum in between one of my back teeth and cheek. It is pretty painful and I accidentally made it bleed why looking at it. It looks like it might have spread closer to my tooth but I cannot tell because the "new" part isn't painful at all. It isn't a canker sore or anything, so I'm not sure what it could be really.
Avatar m tn * 9am: Gum still in pain but mouth feels less inflamed ---------------------- Here are my concerns, I'm expecting I would already have HSV-1 but not HSV-2 -- I was tested for HSV-2 negative recently. I think most of the symptoms can be explained away above but I'm worried that the timelines match up with oral HSV-2 outbreak, gum infection is exactly 1 week later and I have the persistent pain in my penis. Thoughts? Is it worth going to doctors to swab an infected gum?
Avatar m tn Its present in the upper and lower canine teeth and also to its adjacent ones as well only on the left hand part of my mouth. And also this causes a slight bleeding in the morning while I brush and also sometimes during the day with just less than a drop of blood when I spit the saliva out. I also feel the blood taste and smell in the morning and also do I feel that I have got a bad breath due to this.
Avatar n tn And also I am imagining a senario that he got a cut also in his mouth or have bleeding gum, will I get the infection by the blood leaving his cut/gum in contact with the cut on my penis?
Avatar f tn s lots of blood. He prescribed me mouth wash. He said it was some gum inflammation. Is it possible to have small dots or ulcer on gum that was inflamed? The dentist doesn't seems that concern bout those small spots on gum. I was thinking if it was some kind of infection but when I mentioned it to the dentist, he said kinda of but antibiotics is not needed. I'm just afraid that it will not get better.
Avatar m tn The abscess was caused by food that got into a pocket between his erupting wisdom tooth and gum (the gum got cleaned out). He was never unable to open his mouth or talk, so far no swollen lymph nodes or anything like that. His dentist originally said the infection was "minor" but I can't help but feel that it's a LOT more than minor if his cheek got irritated.
