Swollen gums from wisdom teeth
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen gums from wisdom teeth
swollen
Is anyone else having this issue? I brush my teeth every day twice a day and I use mouthwash but my top front gums are still swollen and bleed. I'm terrified that I might lose my teeth in the front and can't afford to go to a dentist. Is this just a symptom of pregnancy or should I scape up some money for a dentist?
I hade my lower wisdom teeth out due to an infection in the gums covering my wisdom teeth. I was given two different kinds of antibiotics before I got my wisdom teeth out. The antibiotics did not clear the infection up and the dentist that removed #17 and #34 stated he removed the gums with the infection on them and I wouldn't have to worry about it. lt has been four weeks and the rotten, bitter taste is back indicating my infection is back, or never really left.
Most studies and research show that your wisdom teeth should not and cannot move those front teeth. There are people who don't have wisdom teeth who's front teeth crowd and shift.
It sounds like you may possibly having gum disease. When was your last dental checkup and cleaning? If its too expensive, try to contact your local dental society, find a local dental school or hygiene school, or free clinic with dental services. You may be able to find discounted or free services.
Hi shar03! I am in no way a "certified" dental expert, however, when someone (myself included) spends countless hours on the internet trying to find the source of a "smell problem", you tend to learn a thing or two..... Anyway, it sounds to me that you MAY have what's called "impacted wisdom teeth." It's where your wisdom tooth/teeth are stuck between open and close in your gum.
They would try to break through my gums, leaving me with swollen, aching gums. I would chew gum all the time just to give myself something to do - plus, for some reason, it would take the 'edge' off the pain. I went through that for several months until I had them all out at once. I was 17 and quite relieved.
As long as that tooth stays where it is, there is the chance that it will apply pressure to the teeth nearby and cause shifting.
The bumps are still visible. My gums are still swollen and irritated at the front two teeth to the point where my bottom teeth are hitting my top gum (I have a serious overbite).
To compound this, after I'd seen my family doctor, my gums became very sore on my right side directly behind my molar. It hurts to chew there and is more irritated on the bottom jaw than in the upper jaw. With my tongue I can feel a fairly hard lump in the location where my wisdom tooth would have been.
the teeth, if they are chipping, are probably decayed. Additionally, they are causing your gums to be inflamed. I would not jump to the conclusion that your sore throat issue is due to the wisdom teeth scenario, but I guess it's possible. Why dont you have the teeth removed and see if your sore throat problem clears up?
But this time, it spread all through out my gums and tongue, and I had noticed that my wisdom holes had swollen up almost over my teeth and looked infected (the holes never completely closed.) I took antibiotics and it went away. Come September, the wisdom holes swelled up again. It then proceeded to spread through my throat, gums, and tongue. My throat was coated white again, and my gums and tongue were torn up and bleeding. I couldn't eat. It was strep again, so more antibiotics.
I have a strange odor and taste by my wisdom teeth, mostly the bottom ones. They don't hurt but they just smell awful. I have rinsed with peroxide, warm salt water, and brush thoroughly in there location but the smell and taste will not go away. what is it? should I have them removed right away?
In my mid-late teens they would bleed a tiny bit when I brushed my teeth and hurt a bit if I ate a lot of chocolate. Now my bottom gums are swollen and when I floss they move a little bit. The part of my gums closest to my teeth is a much lighter color, light pink to white. Also, I have a good amount of cavities and still need to get my wisdom teeth out. On my tongue there seems to be some white patches along both sides and I heard that it could be a sign of cancer.
now I have realized in my gums under one of my wisdom teeth that is 90% in is kinda swollen a bit. is the fatigue and fever supposed to come at the same time as the infection or is it usually a week prior? also should my gums be painful if they are swollen? I also noticed under one of my teeth in the gums I have a small hard feeling whitish bump, any idea what that could be?
Alright ladies I'm 22w+2 and I'm starting to cut my wisdom teeth can I have them removed while I'm pregnant???
