Common Questions and Answers about Gum infection on a toddler

infection

Avatar n tn I have a bum on my gum on the left side of my face behind the last tooth. Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?
Avatar m tn I've got a sore gum, called my nurse yesterday who instantly started telling me to get an Xray asap. If its an infection, they want to get me on antibiotics. Like pooh said, it can become problematic quickly.
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 f tn s bacterial? I have the same problem, although I only noticed the lump on my gum after having a root canal on tooth #14. The nerves had died though prior to the root canal. It's been two weeks since the root canal and I still have the lump and lingering numbness on the left side of my cheek and lips. After the first root canal procedure I took Cleocin for 5 days.
Avatar f tn Red and swollen gums is just one of the symptoms of gingivitis. other indications of gingivitis are bleeding gums and bad breath.Proper oral health hygiene is the best way in preventing red and swollen gums. so,you have to consult with dentist as soon as possible.
Avatar n tn on the completion of a crown placement I noticed a pimple above the crown some weeks later! There was no pain or sensitivity but on a visit to the dentist he told me I would need to consider a root canal procedure! However until then I should increase my flossing, brushing and mouth washing! I have not had the therapy because of fear of compromising my immunity! Am I right not to do the therapy since I have no symptoms other than a small unsightly pimple?
Avatar n tn s swollen and tender tends to suggest an infection. It might be a gum infection or something going on with the teeth. It's best to have it examined and possibly an xray taken to decide what the cause is and to determine the best solution.
Avatar f tn Overnight I had a hard bump appear on my lower left gum. It is a little sore, like something really irritated my gum. The bump is fairly large (length-wise) and protrudes like a piece of bone growing horizontally out from the gum/tooth. I've never had anything like it in my life and I am very concerned! I have seen some references to exstoses (sp?) and gum boils but I'm not sure which this is.
Avatar f tn Hi, when a person gets a herpes strain in one area they are basicly immune to getting it in another. Those that do get it genital and oral got it at the same time. but what your describing would not appear as oral herpes as they are not yellow but clear liquid. i can only suggest having the the lip sore swabbed as you did genital but it should be a fresh open blister. on a side note you cant pass it by sharing spoons and such as needs direct rubbing contact to be at risk.
Avatar f tn I've a small hard lump on my gum over a tooth root I feel pressure when I touch it but it doesn't hurt at all what could it be
Avatar f tn The other day underneath my tongue on the bottom of my left gum line I felt pain when I pressed on this area with my tongue. A few days later, it is still painful but now a couple of white spots have developed. When I rub my tongue over the sores it almost tastes salty and as if my gum is punctured. What could this be? Am I in need of medical care?
Avatar m tn A few months ago I had a tooth infection on my lower back molar. I was told I need a root canal and given antibiotics. After the infection cleared up and stopped hurting I forgot about it, with the intention of eventually going back and getting it taken care of. Well now I have a painless lump on the outside gum right below that tooth. It seems to have appeared over night. I thought I felt food in there and noticed it. It feels like a blister but doesn't hurt at all.
Avatar f tn I had a root canal in one of my lower molars some years ago, and recently the gum around it became inflamed. I went for my normal check-up and the dentist said that it was infected and prescribed antibiotics (I finished the prescribed course). She also told me to brush three times a day. I went back the next week, as the filling fell out of it, and she said that it was looking better, re-filled the tooth and recommended Corsodyl for a couple of weeks.
Avatar m tn How can a gum infection cause heart disease and why don't all older people die from it then?
Avatar f tn t seem to be going away. Basically, I have a small spot on my gum that appears every day or so, bursts and then goes away again. There is no pain, no bad taste and no smell (and very little discharge). I went to the dentist a couple of times recently, and the first time she gave me a course of antibiotics, and the second time a deep scale and clean.
Avatar f tn I have some small white circle on my gum. Went to a doctor and was told that herpes don't appear on gum but only the lip. But I do remember getting cold sore in my nose before. I do found some website saying that herpes do appear on gum but rarely.
Avatar n tn s probably a fistula, which is a sign of infection. They can be stable, painless, and durable. See a dentist right away so you don't lose any of the teeth around the bump.
Avatar n tn I was brushing my teeth and when I finished rinsing I noticed right behind the last tooth on the right side of my lower set of teeth there is a dip in my gum and it looks like some puss or something in the dip. I'm extremely worried, I only just saw it and am going to the dentist asap but I would like to know in the mean time if anyone knows what's going on. Is my tooth going to fall out, is this fixable?
Avatar n tn s a small white head with a puffy appearance, its a fistula from a dental infection. I would recommend seeing your dentist to verify the source of the infection and getting it treated soon.
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 m tn If not - Among bacterial STDs, men can get gonorrhea from female sex partners by performing oral sex on them. When they do the infection is usually asymptomatic and would only be discovered by testing. Sore throats following oral sex are almost never STDs but are usually a manifestation of anxiety. Oral STDs do not cause gum disease or problems. Chlamydia and trichomonas are not a concern from oral sex.
Avatar m tn I've seen a few rare scenarios of people dying from tooth abscesses. What about a gum abscess that is being treated with antibiotics? My boyfriend has a gum abscess and he has been prescribed penicillin and topical antibiotics. He says it is getting better, but for some reason his cheek on the other side of his mouth got swollen (maybe unrelated from biting it) and he says the area of the abscess is still a little irritated even after being on antibiotics today.
Avatar m tn ) but one spot is particularly sore when I brush and looks like a very small white bump/spot (rather than a line following the gum). Could this be a canker sore from all the pushing and retraction of the gum yesterday? I hope that it isn't an abscess (infection). My gum feels sore but not like it is infected. I have been rinsing with warm salt water and peridex. Should I give my gum a couple of days to heal from the new crown/bridge and settle down or should I be immediately worried?
19457682 tn?1478051674 Hello i been to the ER three times for extreme stabbing shooting pain in the right side of my face and they said it was due to a old tooth that broke off at the gum and gave me penicillin VK i have been taking it almost a week and am still suffering and now feel sick to my stomach and dizzy has the infection spread to my brain?
Avatar f tn And infection spreading to gum area .. Hope u see a dentist soon because it can even get infected n turn into a bigger swelling and lead to further discomfort n complications .
Avatar f tn I had a crown put on a broken tooth 10 days ago. I still have an ulcer and quite a bit of pain on the gum under the crown. The novacaine injection hurt terribly, like never before. Could there have been some damage that I still have pain. The office told me to keep gargling with salt water. But after 10 days, the ulcer from what I think was trauma from the instruments is still here. Can this trauma cause an abscess?
Avatar n tn No is a general check given by doctor I took all test that includes HIV also
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.
