"pimple" on my gum?
Question:
It's not hard, it doesn't hurt. I can feel it with my tongue, some days I can feel it with my lip. If I press above it, a clear/whitish puss comes out. No taste. It's there every day. For the past 2-3 mos. Sometimes I pop it 4-5 times a day, sometimes only once.
I have a 5 tooth bridge, from the canine to the back.
Any comments?
Answers:
Well, you have an abscess that has eaten a hole through the bone and out into your mouth. You are not in pain because the pressure is being relieved into that "pimple". You need to see a dentist ASAP for a root canal treatment and then probably a reinforcing post. Don't delay this as the bone is being destroyed from this infection and you will be in danger of losing your bridge.
You have herpes.
Sounds like an abscess to me... have it checked out by your dentist. You don't want to lose the tooth, especially if it's an abutment tooth for your bridge..
....and if you're popping it, the stuff oozing out is going into your body via swallowing..
Might be a sort of Kanker soar. Brush your teeth more
why don't you ask a dentist?
It really does sound as though you have an infection that is draining...for now in your mouth. Not the healthiest of situations! It would be advisable to seek the advice of a dentist as soon as possible.
