Abscess tooth oral thrush

Common Questions and Answers about Abscess tooth oral thrush

abscess

Avatar m tn My initial guess is that its thrush (oral candidiasis). Its a fungal infection of the tongue. You would need some anti-fungal medication from your doctor. As for the abscess, you should get those taken care of. As the abscess grows, it'll continue to spread and get larger, causing damage to your jaw bone.
Avatar m tn I've had one night stand back in September on a drunken night and have been pretty stressed over it since I have no way of contacting her since. Over that same month, I've had a tooth abscess which I found to be possibly due to a weakened immune system. I was given some antibiotics and shortly got thrush.
Avatar n tn I have same problem, I brushed my tongue with Baken Soda tooth past and removed 95% of the white thrush. If you have mouth thrush always use baken soda tooth past.

Avatar n tn I went to my regular dentist on 1/13/06 and xrays showed a large abscess in tooth #10, as well as a smaller abscess in tooth #20. On 1/17/06 I had a RCT done on tooth #10, as well as an incision in the roof of my mouth behind that tooth to help extract the infection. On 1/19/06, I had a RCT done on tooth #20, with one 0.05mm post placed. I have been on Antibiotics since 1/13/06, taking Penicillin VK 500mg QID, so I'm now on my Eighth day of antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Generally, peri apical abscess results from decay, and oral bacteria gain access to peri apical area through root canal system. Rarely. Bacteria gain access through periodontal lesion , which is known as retrograde infection.
Avatar n tn A tooth abscess is usually a complication of tooth decay. In a dental abscess, or tooth abscess there is accumulation of pus inside the teeth or gums. The abscess usually originates from a bacterial infection and is mostly caused by a dental infection. The common presenting complaints are severe toothache, breath odour, fever, pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of gums, swollen glands etc.
Avatar m tn oral thrush happens to people without hiv. do you smoke or take antibiotics?
Avatar f tn Also, not taking care of an abscess tooth and the infection going into your blood stream in severe cases can cause death.
Avatar n tn I recently went to the dentist because of pain in between my gum and an abscess forming below. He did an xray and found no tooth damage. He found that I needed a root canal two teeth back. It is still incredibly painful in between my teeth and there is incredible pressure below my tooth where the abscess is forming. Should I go to the doctor again? The pus has not started draining in it despite attempts with salt water, tea bags and hydrogen peroxide to draw it out.
Avatar n tn I'm very worried about my husband & need some direction. Some background; he went to a Periodontist about a month ago for treatment for gingivitis & had a tooth extraction (tooth 20 I believe), since that time he's had a couple of infections that were treated with antibiotics.
Avatar n tn My question is, can an otherwise healhty individual get oral thrush and why? My Dentist said that it might be oral thrush but didn't offer any clues as to why I have it. I have been married and had one sexual partner for the past 5 years and am not worried about aids but everything I find on the net says I am dying from some immuno deficency b/c I have thrush.. I am going crazy please help me!
Avatar f tn Have any of you had oral thrush while pregnant and had to take liquid nystatin? Did it cause any harm to the baby? It bothers me having to take an antibiotic while pregnant :-( Thanks.
Avatar n tn After I visit my dentist, they found out one of my tooth have pocket depth11 in one point of my lower back tooth. They suggest a tooth extraction, and get second oponion. I ate anitbiotic and now my toothache is gone, I started root canal on that tooth, and doctor recommand me to see a gum specialist before they do the root canal. They said I have Periodontal Disease, I am wondering if this tooth can be saved by the gum specialist. Is sugical gum treatment can save my tooth?
Avatar f tn About six months ago, I had two teeth (18 and 19) prepped for crowns. One of the teeth (19) had deep decay. No pain prior to procedure and no sensitivity to hot/cold. After the crown prep, had periodic pain in both so asked dentist to place crowns with temp cement in case root canal became necessary. Experienced severe galvanic shock. Removed temps and had root canals on both teeth. Continued to have severe pressure sensitivity on 19 and some on 18.
Avatar m tn If it turns out that it is a tooth responsible for the abscess, it needs to be taken out as as the abscess is completely gone. Don't wait or the abscess could come back worse.
Avatar f tn to whom it may concern, I am a 23 year old female with left lower mouth pain where the wisdom tooth should be, i went to an oral surgeon today who said he thinks its tmj but told me that the left lower wisdom tooth is impacted and in the bone near the jaw, im am thinking that it is my wisdom tooth that is causing the problem but he doesnt think so. he thinks its tmj what do any of you think it is.
Avatar n tn see both then make a choice endo and a surgeon thats what I did and made the choice for the tooth to be removed and an implant put in. I made the right choice in my case the tooth could not be saved and the implant is amazing better than my real tooth. I chose the later after hearing there was no garantee another root canal would take and if it did maybe for a year or two and I did not want to go to one then have the other a few years later.
Avatar f tn it developed after I took antibiotics so I wonder if it could be oral thrush. does this sound typical of oral thrush?
Avatar m tn Antibiotics for an abscessed tooth are given in pill or liquid (oral) form, usually for a 7- to 10-day period. Complete the dose but seek an emergency help when you feel Trouble breathing,Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Do call the Doctor right away when you have Hives, Fainting or lightheadedness.
Avatar f tn It's possible to get oral thrush, a yeast infection of the mouth. The odds of you getting thrush from a single contact with a woman who had a yeast infection are dependent mostly on the duration of contact and the state of your immune system. If you're healthy and didn't linger too long, the odds of getting an infection are pretty low. If you start getting muckmouth and white patches and a thick film of white on your tongue, it's possible you picked up thrush.
Avatar f tn I am a woman who had unprotected oral sex with a male on 6/23 and 7/06. Prior to the first incounter, I had cut my gums and had a wound. After the sex, I had an abscess pop up on my gum line. I popped it a couple times, but it kept coming back. Around 7/18, I got a sore throat and just an ill feeling. I had some night sweats (that may have been due to alcohol) but never a fever. Saw my doctor 7/23 and started Doxcycline just in case something was up.
Avatar n tn I dont know if this is thrush. I have had the same problem for 3 and a half years. My tongue is white coated, i feel like i have scratches all over it. My lips even stayed constantly dry and chapped feeling for years. I still have it and have been to over 20 doctors for it. I have been checked for thrush and candida 3 or 4 times with no positive result. Once i was even checked for systymatic yeast. I have been to oral surgeons, mouth specialists and a million other doctors.
Avatar f tn This fourum seems to get some great responses. I'm glad I found this place. I'm a 37 years old female. I've recently had intercourse ( about three weeks ago) with a 34 year old gentleman who is promiscuous. We used condoms for vaginal sex, but did NOT for oral sex. He did not ejaculate in my mouth, but there was some pre cum. I ended up getting a tooth infection a few days after the encounter. I took a high dose of amoxicillin (500mg) three times a day.
