How To Treat Recurring Blister Above The Front Tooth?
my 14yr old daughter has what looks like 1 blister above her front tooth. It will occasionally pop releasing blood but it will fill up again and repeat the process. I took her to the dentist who prescribed amoxicillin two treatments and it is still the same. Can you give me an Idea of what we might be looking at?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to take an x-ray of the tooth and see if there is any infection if the blister causing discomfort could be removed surgically, if the tooth is infected could be treated with root canal treatment i would suggest you to continue with the course of antibiotics and analgesics, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Take care!

Read your query.
Is there any history of trauma in that area?
Is there any swelling or pain in that area.
The recurrent discharge should be suggestive of an abscess in relation to the mentioned tooth.
I would advice you to visit a endodontist and have it reviewed by a radiograph.If there is any infection involving the tooth ,root canal treatment will be of help .Treatment along with the antibiotics will be helpful.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
