Suggest Treatment For Boil On Gums Near Molar Teeth

I have had for the past 2 1/2 months a fluid filled sac above my molars on my gums. The sack filled with fluid then usually pops on it's own and shows up again a couple days later. I have no tooth pain or gum pain. The fluid started out clear clear looking at now has a whitish tint to it. Any ideas what this could be or what to do about it?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain in case if the tooth has turned black or there is a cavity in the tooth then it can be a DENTAL ABSCESS caused due to infection reaching below the root tips of the tooth and causing pus formation leading to formation of a dental abscess..
In this case an x ray helps in deciding the treatment plan and in case if tooth can be saved Root Canal Treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers will help..
If cant be saved extraction has to be done..

In case if tooth is not decayed then it can be due to gum infection leading to formation of a Gingival abscess or if it involves underlying bone then it is a Periodontal Abscess and it can be treated by thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums and intake of antibiotics and topical application of gum paint and antimicrobial oral ointments..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
