Last december, my dentist said that I need a rootcanal. Or, if it get worst, they have to pull my tooth out. Then, last march, my tooth hurts really bad. Then, I told my mom to bring me to the dentist, but she didn't. Now, my gums are like swollen. And then a little bump on my gum appeared yesterday. And, when I woke up this morning, it got bigger, and I'm really scared.
Answer:
abscess - time for the dentist or the emergency room. I would go to the dentist and try to save the tooth, and maybe your life.
Gingivitis maybe?
i can anwser this cause it just happend to me last week. a bump on the gum, usually indicates that you do need a root canal. what has happened is you had a cavity, it went into the pulp of your tooth, now you have a infection inside your tooth. usually right above where the bump is. treatment for this is simple penicillin or antiboditcs, and of course, a root canal.
It sounds like you may have an abcess. I fthat's the case your dentist will either prescribe you antibiotics to take, or send you to your family doctor to get some. The antibiotics will reduce the swelling and kill the infection. After you finish all the medicine the dentist will most likely do a root canal or pull the tooth.
Abcessed teeth can be very dangerous and possibly even be fatal. Make sure you go to your dentist or doctor immediately.Good luck
If it's the same tooth you were referring to, then most likely an infection has developed. The pus is coming to the surface, hence the bump. Tell your mom, that having dental infections are no laughing matter. Problems in your mouth can carry on into your body and cause trouble there. The infection has to be drained and you could lose the tooth if a root canal is not considered appropriate at this time. Until you see a dentist, rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day. You can also in addition rinse with warm chamomille tea. But see your dentist soon.
That sounds like an abscess due to the tooth becoming infected. The bump is likely to be a pus-filled cyst from that infection. Get you mum to take you back to the dentist.
You have an infection in your tooth, you need to be put on antibiotics to have the swelling come down, and then you will need a root canal, core, and crown. This is the only way to get rid of the infection permanently. The antibiotics will get rid of the infection for now but it will return. I don't know your money situation or if you have insurance, but it is pretty expensive. Your only other option is the remove the tooth.
Time to talk to Mom- explain to her that she can get free or very reasonable treatment from a dentist- there should be an 800 number to call for a reference to a dentist.
yeah, thats bad, tell your mom you have an absess and that you heard that the infection will make you very sick, they will give you antibiotics whereever you go, your mom doesn't have to take you to the dentist... a clinic or emergency room will do that.. the dentist wouldn't do anything anyway because of the infection. He would want the infection to go away first, and then have you come back. If you can't get your mom to take you to the dentist, maybe you could go to a friends mom and ask her to talk to your mom?
Rinse with warm salt water and see your Dentist ASAP!
You have an abscessed tooth, the dentist will either try to save the tooth by prescribing you antibiotics, root canal or they might go ahead and pull it if you have had past problems with it.
