Anyone with post root canal problem?
i had a root canal a few months ago. just this past month, a lump has come up on my gum right below that tooth. it is painful if touched. anyone know what this is and has this happened to you?
Answers:
It sounds like your tooth has re-abscessed which may require a re-treat but will definitely need a round of antibiotics. What you are seeing is a fistula, much like a tube that leads from the abscess at the root of the tooth and drains into the mouth. See your dentist as soon as possible to have this evaluated for treatment as it is an infection and needs to be taken seriously. Good luck!
Ok...My wisdom teeth are coming in...and they hurt...three are coming in at once...read details...?
Sounds like there's an abscess in the gum. You should see a dentist or periodontist asap.
