Hi I have a wisdom tooth that has a grayish color to it, I also see some cracks as well. On the outer gum line it was extremely inflamed and it was sore. But after a few days the pain went away and I noticed some white fluid coming out of the swollen gum area. I tried to gargle salt water, and also 50/50 peroxide and water. Today I looked again and I saw a black hole with a white lining on top of the gums where it was really swollen. Then this afternoon I looked again and the black hole came out! It looked like a small seed. Well all I have now is this hole in my gums and the redness is still present. What could it be?
its a clear case of decayed wisdom tooth ..gray color indiacted the tooth is dead and whitish fluid thing can be pus.. get urself n appointment with dentist n get that tooth extracted asap..
hi, thnx for your query, your problem is called PERICORONAL ABSCESS.the treatment is extraction of that tooth. visit your dentist he will advice you a x-ray to see the alignment of the tooth, later prophylactic antibiotic therapy and extraction. do not delay and consult oral surgeon for this. hope this helps out.
As described by you , your wisdom tooth had become badly carious .
This area is very difficult to clean so it often invites bacterial infection leading to redness , inflammation and swelling of the surrounding gingiva .
The tooth had become carious there is infection of the surrounding tissues and abscess formation .
You need to visit Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get checkup done .
Take an x-ray of the tooth, most probably the treatment would be extraction of the tooth .
Take complete course of antibiotic and analgesic .
Use saline water gargles 3-4 times daily.
Use 0.2% of chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily .
Have you got your wisdom teeth erupted or is it still impacted?
The fluid discharge is due to the formation of periapical abscess at the affected site.
If teeth is impacted,it has to be extracted.
If the teeth has erupted ,there may be periapical infection developed.
In such cases,emergency access opening along with drainage and curettage has to be done.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Welcome to HCm,
From your history it suggest that you have got decayed wisdom tooth resulting root abscess.
Consult dentist and under antibiotic cover go for extraction of wisdom tooth.
