Couldn't find what you looking for?

mine seems to appear only when I eat certain foods. I am experimenting with a grain free, dairy free and low carb diet and it seems to really help. When I get a "gum pimple" I avoid the food that i ate before it appeared.
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 thanks for that, I believe thats what Ive been looking for. My dentist referred me to a periodontist. I said all I came in for was the bump on my gum and he said - nothing to worry about Ill just give you some antibiotics and go see the perio and it will be fine. That was 3 weeks ago, took all the antibiotics and its still there and my head throbs now. I never knew what an endodonist was for before but I think I will try to find one since this sounds like exactly what I need to.

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 seem to get the same thing every once in a while. I rinse a few times a day with very warm salt water, and eventually it does go away. I hope this helps.

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.

my whole mouth has dis coloration. sense about May I get an on again off again puss pocket. It drains (sometimes when I pop it) what comes out is green or yellow, not often it has blood only. I was prescribed .12% chlorhexidine rinse and antibiotics. once for fourteen days. Then for seven days. Neither time has it fazed the problem. I recently moved to another state and lost my dental coverage. They did an x-ray and were suppose to do an exam. However, after x-ray. She told me to come back when I regain coverage and we can talk then. Whats the issue?

I have the same exact symptoms. BUT, I've had a recent root canal and no sign of any infection inside of the roots of the tooth, nor, the pulp, nor any where near that tooth. My endodontist has seen me 4 times since his root canal 3 months ago and he insists there is no connection to the root canal. So I went to my primary care doctor and asked what type of specialist I should see. She was pretty much useless as she told me to see a dentist. (My dentist is the one who referred me to the root canal Dr. in the first place.)
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.

Okay, I know what an abscess tooth is like. I have had them in the past and those painful bumps that sometimes turn whitish are nasty but, I have developed a whitehead type pimple no bigger than the head of a straight pin. There is no swelling underneath it and there is no pain associated with it. Never had this before. I did indeed pop it then swished with peroxide. It went a way for a few days now there is another one. This is nothing like a gum boil/abscessed tooth. Any ideas?

What about for a 5 yr old loosing teeth. This is above his front left tooth, (hes losing his front left currently) that has gone black on us and we're not sure why. He brushes his teeth regularly. Just noticed it tonight, the pimple. Hes not hurting and it's not bothering him, does he still need a root canal??

I would suggest getting a MRI of that particular area. X-rays are mainly for bones, not organs or tissue.
