Chipped My Tooth, Noticed A Bump On The Gum Above The Next Tooth Over. Could Be A Gum Boil ?
Hi, I chipped my tooth last week and the next day I was looking at it and noticed a bump on the gum above the next tooth over. I thought it was a canker sore. I went to the dentist to have my tooth fixed and he x-rayed it and the surrounding teeth(including one with bump) he said nothing of the bump. My chipped tooth was fixed with no problem. Now I was online and my bump looks suspiciously like a gum boil but wouldn t my dentist have noticed if the tooth had died?
I would suggest you to get a thorough scaling done.
The bump has to be incised and drained.
curetting the bump will solve the problem.
vitamin becosules has to be administered.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics .
PLease avoid the use of toothpick/dental floss if you practice any.
MAINTAIn good oral hygiene.
Bump formation can be because of several reasons , it can be an abscess formation, ulceration , irritation or trauma due to the chipped tooth, plague and calculus accumulation deep into the gum pockets.
I would advice you to visit Dentist get a checkup done .
Take an x-ray,
Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done .
Drainage of abscess and Curretage is the treatment.
Decayed tooth is to be restored.
Maintain a good oral hygiene .
Apply dologel ointment on the affected area.
Hope this helps out.
Regards....
