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 After I posted here, a white lump appeared on the gum, which (bit grim this) leaked white fluid when I pushed it, so I decided it was best to stop messing around and make an appointment with my dentist. I am going in tomorrow, so will let you know what she says! Thanks again!

Avatar m tn I went for a check up last week and my dentist was shocked to find a strange cavity that was eating into my gum, he had to numb me and open up the tooth there and then and he carried out stage one of root canal and burnt a bit of my gum away. When the anaesthetic wore of I was in pain and three days later I went back and he opened it up. He said there wasn't an infection but he flushed it out and gave me antibiotics.
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 n tn All it takes is a sliver of something to get stuck between one of her teeth and her gum and it could start an infection. Or perhaps she just plain has a bad tooth that is OK when she drinks, but it's painful to chew on? That's the only thing I can think of from what you have written.
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.
7395901 tn?1390576733 I brush my teeth everyday. I never miss a day. Lately, I've been noticing lots of blood when I got to spit after I'm finished brushing. I've never had this problem before and it seems that its only getting worst. My gums aren't sore, they aren't red and they don't bleed unless its when I brush. I also use a soft bristle brush, so what could be the problem? Is it something to worry about?
Avatar f tn Interesting that you had a test for Ureaplasma; most STD experts recommend against such testing, since Ureaplasma is generally considered a normal bacteria in the genital tract and most experts are not certain it ever causes disease. We never test for it in my STD clinic. However, this is a somewhat controversial area. In any case, since your test became negative after treatment, I see no reason for continued concern about it.
Avatar m tn I want to make sure he is in the clear before we have a child around him. Looking back I suppose I have shared things with him like my gum shield when we go training together and some of his blood could have got in my mouth, that upsets me.... . He wasn't tested for hep c and I am wondering why not ( dont think it is included in sexual health screening in the uk) and could hiv/ hep c coinfection delay his antibody production meaning he could still be hiv pos.
Avatar n tn Lymph nodes filter infection and swell when infection is normally present. They can take a long time to reduce in size once the infection is gone though. Was this node swollen before you saw your dentist? If so, it may just be residual. If not, a call to your dentist would be in order. Hope this helps. Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, too.
Avatar n tn Hello, I had a crown put on a couple of years ago that never seemed to fit quite right. There is a space between the crown itself and the gum line and the metal that was used is visible. Within the past few months I have started to notice a nasty odor coming from this crown when I floss, as well as some minor bleeding. The gum beneath the crown has recently started to cause a dull aching pain.
Avatar f tn I did call my dentist however his currently not in til next week, he told me to use mouth wash and take antibiotics which thankful i am already on as i have a vaginal infection. The gum is fully covering the back wisdom tooth its been like this for years neevr have gaven me this much trouble.
Avatar f tn use salt water gargle and maintain oral hygiene ...another thing u do is message your gum if its a gum infection..in pregnancy many ppl get pregnancy periodontitis that can reason....when u have an appointment ur dr will give you basic antibiotics and paracetamol for pain...till that time manage...
Avatar n tn All there gonna do is prescribe you some tylenol, when i was pregnant with my daughter 18 yrs ago my teeth and gums was hurting so bad they prescribe me tylenol 3's , so maybe if it's all the same they'll do the same for you. But you have let your doctor no before and then make your dentist appt. Goodluck with that i no how painful that can be.
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 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 f tn I was put on Amoxicillin and a root canal was performed on June 23, two days later an incision was made in the gum to clean out some of the infection, the next day a small hole was made in the upper gum to try and drain some of the infection. On July 1st I was sent to an oral surgeon who did a panoramic of my face and there was infection the size of a walnut up into my sinus. He put me on Augmentin and on July 8th he pulled the tooth.
Avatar n tn Just because the fistula/bump is gone doesn't mean the infection is gone. I'm not a dentist, but I'm a dental assistant (9 years) and I guarantee the bump will eventually come back, it's not good to have that infection in your body(pregnant or not). You need to do whatever dental work your dentist recommended,just let them know you are pregnant so they don't use nitrous. Just my opinion....good luck!!
Avatar f tn I get the same on and off. I noticed i get it more when I take tuns actually. But it's gross and annoying.
