Suggest Remedy For Blisters On Gums After Root Canal Treatment

I have a tooth that has a crown and I believe a root canal was done on it as well years ago. Now I have some soreness in the tooth and have recently noticed blisters forming on the gum of this tooth that when I pop the blister it oozes pus and blood.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the tooth that is root canal treated and has a crown seems to have a re-infection leading to formation of pus below the root tips of the tooth and at times the infection leads to perforation of bone and appears below the gums as Blister and there is also pain associated with it and the entire sequence of infection and pus formation is referred to a condition known as DENTAL ABSCESS.
You should consult a dentist and get an x ray done and in case if the root canal is found to be intact only medication that is antibiotics and painkillers will relieve but if there is some deficiency found in the treatment then the dentist can either perform a root canal treatment or extract the tooth depending upon the condition of the tooth..
The dentist will also advise antibiotics like Augmentin 625mg thrice daily, Ibuprofen 5O mg thrice daily and Pantoprazole 4O mg once in the morning empty stomach..

Hope this information helps..
