Hi. A long time ago, my tooth (left, upper) was impacted due to a bicycle accident. Since then, I observed pus (without pain) in the gum right where the impacted tooth is. Now, I notice a flesh has grown that looks like a skin tag on that part of the gum. Sometimes it has pus and bleeding.
Dear sir/ Mam, I understand your problem.whenever a tooth erupts ,it will tear the tissue above it to enter the mouth.when an impacted tooth erupts a little before getting impacted, the tissue above it will be loose and flabby.This loose tissue attracts and encourage food impaction.Constant food accumulation under this tissue will not allow it to heal.As a inflammatory process the tissue will become like a tag,develops pus and bleeds at times. As a first line of treatment cut the tissue tag , clean that area and take antibiotics.If it recurs,take an X-ray to check whether there is any possibility of the tooth to erupt by its own.If not try orthodontic eruption(braces) of tooth. If nothing is possible last line of treatment is the removal of that problematic tooth. Hope your query is answered.For further queries please dont hesitate to contact back.Thank you.
Read your query, as you have pis formation in gums this can be due to injury in periodontal ligament causing periodontal infection due to Intrusion of tooth leads to formation of Periodontal Abscess, for this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for investigations Iopa xray of tooth and go for its treatment and excision of overgrowth of gingiva due to intrusion of tooth. Do warm saline gargle , you can apply stolin gum paint on gum and consult dentist for its treatment.
Hope this will help you.
