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 I see the rubber tipped toothbrushes at every drug store i have been to. They are not expensive either. If you have an eckerd, rite aid, or cvs drug store near you, i know for a fact they have a variety of them. They are made by oral b, at least that is the brand i have. They work wonders. Here is a link to one. Its not the one i have, but its similar. http://www.oralb.com/products/product.asp?
Avatar f tn i am going back to the gum the next time i can get away from work, but no one has been able to tell me what kind of infection this is or what kind of treatment will work. i would think it was only bv but the doctor said that it was an infection of some kind. so what kind of infection cannot be cured with all these antbiotics?
Avatar n tn We then took two x-rays and one revealed a dark line on the gum with the embedded wisdom tooth. The Dentist said that the wisdom tooth has caused infection to two other teeths nearby. He suggested that the embedded wisdom tooth be removed through surgery as it is causing health problems. I agreed immediately. And although the surgery was quite an ordeal, the next day after the surgery, I did the lick test, the smella saliva is no longer there !! I knew that I have been cured !!
Avatar f tn I was told months ago that I have periodontal gum disease and I've obsessively researched it saying that the inflammation in my gums can eventually run through my body and increase other health risks.. I've been having breaststroke pain for a while but especially these last few weeks. I am scared to DEATH of thinking it may be cancer. I'm 26 and as far as I've known, it doesn't run in the family, but neither does gum disease.
552173 tn?1282603290 used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), and others. It burns the most after I urinate. But even after that it still burns alittle. Oh and having intercourse that one day hurt. This would be my 2nd Yeast Infection, the one I had b4 was when I was 6 months pregnant. Do you think this is a yeast infection? Is the burning normal and how long will it take to go away.
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 f tn You should see a dentist, if it's that bad it's probably an infection, and will need antibiotics to clear it up if it's something that can't be fixed during pregnancy, tooth infections can cause preterm labor just the same as a vaginal infection. Orajel works for pain until you can get it taken care of though, and tylenol might help!
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 1) Nicotine patches and nicotine gum are available over-the-counter. The nicotine nasal spray and nicotine inhaler are currently available only by prescription from a doctor. 2) These products provide a small amount of nicotine that will help relieve many of the withdrawal symptoms that a smoker may feel when quitting. 3) The goal is to be free of both cigarettes and the nicotine substitute within three to six months.
Avatar n tn Hi Ive been diagnose with anal warts, not sure how long ive had them as never have had anal sex and just noticed a few strange bumps while showering, thought Id get it checked and gum clinic said I had small number of warts, now they said due to small size could be missed espically if you werent actively looking for them, my question is what are the chances I could pass on these anal warts to my gf with unprotected vaginal sex, in sence that she wouldnt have any real contact with the anus area
Avatar n tn Sometimes a sinus infection, gum infection, throat infection or ear infection can have an odor that you can detect transiently when you pass the person or you are the person. Vaginal odors can also sometimes be detected. Please be aware that some people detect odors better than others. The perm smell is usually related to sulfur or ammonia products. You might also be detecting sewer gas leak if you have a cracked drain pipe some where. It might also be perm chemicals wafting through the air.

Avatar n tn Yes It's a kind of yeast infection that I have had a month earlier.A patient of having yeast infection in his/her genital might have some itching condition some burning sensation(which was not in case of mine) and may have oral thrush like coated on the surface of tongue with white sore on here and there on the mouth may be on gum or roof of the mouth or palate. I have faced such a situation.
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 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 n tn I also have been having a very sticky mouth in the mornings and this morning I woke up and it feels like a graze on the inside of my mouth on my gum by my top lip. This I can feel, feels like I have caught the gum in between my two top teeth (i do have a little gap there) Do we naturally have little bumps along our lips,kind of like glands? I am hoping that I have only really just noticed them because I have been studying my lips way too much!
Avatar n tn Hi Sevina, from what i have heard, a gum abscess is an infection and the puss coming out is evidence. You really should see your dentist about this and get some antibiotics to clear it up.

Avatar f tn Do I call my dentist in the morning? On my appointment on 4/21 they found out I have a gum infection and need the deep gum cleaning. Is it possible they aggravated my gums when doing the dental work making the infection worse?
