I had one much more solid one on one side of my mouth that did not seem to change much and one that comes and goes on the other. After being on this eating program, the solid one opened itself and drained and the other one comes less frequently. They are both over the same tooth on each side, 3rd from the back which in Chinese and Holistic medicine indicates Thyroid imbalance. I intend to follow natural recommendations to improve that and if necessary do a fast. Several years ago, I had a much larger one and following a physical and emotional cleansing regime resolved this situation.
yes you should pop it and drain it rinse your mouth out real good with salt water use table salt or sea salt and then go see a dentist not a dermatologist hope this helps it will feel better once you drain it massage your gums around the area as you do this is will drain that will get the puss out and relieve the pressure you probably need antibiotics too it will not go away on its own you have to be treated by a dentist and have the dead root or nerve removed or the infection will keep returning good luck teeth suck
I know what this is, an abcessed tooth. I had that about 10 years ago, I was in third grade. My upper second bicuspid (upper left 5) was pulled (luckily it was a baby tooth). The swelling went down, and the pus came out. The good part is that I got a visit from the tooth fairy. But, I am now a college freshman, and the same thing has happened twice now. During my senior year of high school, a few months ago, I had a puffy gum, and I flossed, and the gum around my tooth was all red, irritated, and cut up. It went away a few days later. Now, it’s back. This morning, I woke up with a puffy gum. I squeezed it, and pus came out. Both recent times, the tooth affected is the upper first bicuspid (upper right 5). I told my mom about it and she’s gonna call the dentist on Monday. 50-50 chance I’m probably gonna have to get the tooth pulled. Difference is, 10 years ago it was a baby tooth. This time, it’s an adult tooth. Not growing back.
I'm stuck with a continually appearing whitish yellow pimple forming about a half a centimeter on the inside of my lower gum.
I have had 4 pre-cancer surgeries on the left side of my face and cheek. I have had over 25 X-Rays taken of my teeth and jaw area over the past 50 years. Someone suggested I see an Oral Surgeon. But where I live in North Carolina is a small town of 40K people, and every dentist here calls himself an oral surgeon. But when it comes to examining more details with my problem, they always refer me to an endodontist.
My mouth is very clean and I have always taken excellent care of my teeth. But your referral on this posting above says to see a dermatologist? For my gums? Really? I never heard of this before.
