Avatar m tn I don't know if I can be a good person to answer this or not because I've done so many treatments and not just SOC. However, I do have significant recession in my gums. My teeth are great, no decay, no root canals, no crowns, but my gums are lousy. This is in spite of being very rigid w/brushing and flossing and using a fluoride/anti-plaque mouthwash. I do make sure that I am up to date on my dental appt.s, even though it's been hard at times w/o good dental insurance.
Avatar m tn Its possible that previous history of gum disease could have caused the recession and now the gum disease is no longer present but a dental cleaning is almost always advised on a routine basis to maintain healthy gums. A dental cleaning should remove any irritants and allow the gums to heal. If they're healthy already, there should be no problem.
Avatar f tn Yes, the receding gums are very new. They started around the same time as the strep throat. The blister is a small pimple and my last dental visit was about two or three months ago.
Avatar f tn Your gums will swell when periodontal disease is present, this is plaque build up on your teeth or gingivitis. Food gets caught between our teeth and gums pushing the gums away from the teeth and causing inflammation and swelling. See your dentist regarding this and go from there.
Avatar f tn reccessed gums and severe bone density loss causing pain.what is the treatment when one has little funds.
1500294 tn?1290272209 t afford that, as vet bills cost a fortune, i recommend you buy Plaqueoff and/or some other dental products for dogs, such has dental bones, biscuits etc - which you can usually get hold of, in your local pet store or super market.
1650401 tn?1301564700 My gums are red and itchy for the past 2 weeks now. When ever I eat food that is a little bit mild the gums burn and itches terribly. Is this a sign of gingervitus? I got something over the counter to gurgle with and the itching stops but the sensitivity does not stop. What seems to be the the problem? Should I go and see dentist or should I go see a GP?
Avatar m tn Hi Doctor, I had been to a dentist recently. She had to re-fit the dental cap. While she did that, she asked me to take some water spit out. There was this plastic cup. On the edge of the cup which was a little flat edge - there was something red - I assume it was big blood drop. While I took the water - I think it may have also dripped from the edge of the cup into the mouth.
Avatar f tn A few days ago, rather suddenly, I started to feel pain in my gums where the gums meet the inside of my upper lip. When I looked, they appeared to be like blood blisters, or red spots that weren't raised. Now they're spreading, and look like very small white heads. They're on my lower gums, and now seem to be in the cavity where the tongue rests, along the gum wall. They're sensitive, and painful (maybe a 3/10).
Avatar m tn The debris have been in the gums for years so may have taken on some of the density of the tissue around it, being surrounded by blood and all. So far X-Rays have not been able to find anything. What test would be able to figure out what is in there? I was looking at CT Scans with contrast or going straight into flap surgery but I fear probing around with surgery is an overkill in the situation. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I can recall in early January my sinuses had drained from my eye into my gums on the same side and had a bad tooth pain. Is this dental? Sinuses? or both?
5073868 tn?1363194534 There is no pain associated and it never seems to get worse.The blisters are right on top of my gums behind my back teeth only on the bottom and towards the inside towards my tongue.not both sides at once either.they are only about the size of a pinhead but I can feel them with my tongue when they appear.There is never more than 1 or 2 at a time.
5588633 tn?1370445549 This past week I have found myself very confused and forgetting simple things like the street I live on and the number of my house. Tonight I found 2 blisters on my gums on the right side. Are these things lyme related. Im kinda freaking out between the rash, memory problems, and now the blisters. Please help. any input is welcome.
Avatar f tn I am a very healthy 21 year old F who had always had very good dental health. Two years ago I had a bit of a receding gum on my front right tooth but it never hurt so I put off going to the periodontist. Besides that, I go to the dentist every six months and he always says what healthy gums and teeth I have (besides that front tooth, which he has been bothering me to get looked at).
Avatar f tn Yup I have. I'll be 37wks weeks tomorrow and the only time the bleeding stopped was after I had my cleaning. After a month they started bleeding again. It's normal though mostly due to hormones and increase in blood volume. I work at a dental office so we it's so common. We recommend cleaning or any other dental work to be done during the 2nd trimester.
Avatar f tn What is this and is it harmful??? My teeth dont hurt and my gums dont bleed when i brush, so i dont know what it is. Its only on like the 4 front bottom teeth. Any ideas???
676912 tn?1332812551 Over the last few days my gums have been soreish and they bleed really easily. Anything I can do to help with it? AND I have wisdom tooth that I didn't get removed before I got pregnant, BFP happened the same month I was going to get it removed...it looks like it's getting infected, no pain around it just a little puss (sorry tmi) I think it's cause the tooth isn't all the way in so there's stuff getting down in the gums cause I can't brush it right...
703897 tn?1248019974 I am curious as to why a receptionist at a dentists office would deny a patient information on a crown that has been put on 6 months ago and still is irritating someones gums. I asked if I could get the materials used to make the crown and what lab it came from, I also wanted to know what type of materials the dentist used to put the crown on with thinking I may be allergic to the materials used. The dentist's office denied me this informaton.
Avatar n tn I had deep cleaning on my right side for my teeth I had the numbing injection on my gums but the lady who cleaned my teeth she stuck the injection needle on the inside of my lips twice my whole mouth started tingly half my nose was numb and after I got out of the dentist I had two big huge bump on my lip with blood still there where it was injected at the bump turned white it's kinda hard to eat or drink something without my lip hurting I thought that their only allowed to numb the gums not
Avatar n tn When i was in high school and wasn't having dental cleanings every 6 months as you're supposed to, I was eating an apple and freaked out when I saw a bit of blood on it but I figured out it was my gums that had bled. If you don't get regular cleanings, that blood could be from your own gums. Just brushing with a toothbrush daily and flossing isn't good enough to protect your gums from gingivitis and sensitivity.
Avatar f tn My gums right between two teeth are swollen and bleed if I eat anything that pushes against it. It doesn't bleed to bad if I brush it's weird is it something I should be really concerned about? Anyone else have this?
Avatar n tn These can occur both on the upper or lower jaws. On the upper it is usually on the palate and is called a torus palatinus. On the lower they usually occur on the inside of the lower jaw and is called torus mandibularis. These are normal out growths of the bone. There is no treatment necessary for them.
Avatar n tn i had one dental implant in august 2007 and it didnt work. the surgon told me that the part of my bone where the old tooth was, was to soft. so they removed it and told me to come back in 2 months after the bone has hardened. i had my second surgery in october 2007. they put in a concave implant to help secure it better. they added bone graphing. i believe it was from a cow or something. they told me everything went well.
1377258 tn?1279316070 Bleeding gums usually indicates the start of gingivitis. You should probably get to your dentist for a professional cleaning of your teeth. Smoking makes the gum shrink back and you may now be accumulating plaque around the gumline of your teeth. This would make the gums irritated and they can easily bleed. It can also attribute to bad breath. A simple cleaning may be all you need. Please call your dentist. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn so far I am 27weeks. During pregnancy is there pain in dental cleanings? Heard from a friend there is pain. Are teeth whitenings allowed?
Avatar n tn Now, I have a small squishy bump on my gums on the left side of my face. It is far up on my gums - almost in the crease between my cheek and my gums. It only hurts when I bump it. And nothing comes out of it like puss. My wisdom teeth were removed almost 12 years ago. The teeth below the bump both have had root canals and have crowns. What is this bump?
