What Causes A Lump Between The Teeth After Dental Cleaning?

I have 2 teeth at front top that moved due to gum periodontal disease, I have had deep cleaning done and some cosmetic filling around teeth to make them look good, from what I understand the bone was not much good but the teeth are. that was a onth ago, today I noticed a small lump at front of gum betweenish teeth and when I pushed on it puss came out from under the gum, do you think this is something I need to get antibiotics from for the gum or tooth problem

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain a pus filled lump over the gum between two front teeth with a history of severe Periodontal disease can be most probably due to Periodontal infection only and can be due to Periodontal abscess formation..

While at times the infection from gums can reach below the root tips of the tooth and cause tooth infection and formation of tooth abscess..

For confirmation of what is the exact cause of it consult a Dentist and get evaluated and an x-ray with help on confirmation..

In case of gum infection deep Scaling and curettage followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and antiseptic mouthwash gargles and gum paint massage can help..

For tooth infection Root Canal treatment or extraction can be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
