How To Cure A White Spot Below The Tissue Of The Teeth?
I have a lower front tooth that has had a concussion. It isn't loose but has been sore for several weeks and the tissue below the tooth is red and has developed a white spot looking like a pimple. The pain has decreased since the concussion occurred with the help of advil. I have not had anything to eat except soft foods for over a week now. Should I continue with the advil until the redness disappears and the white spot or should I be more concerned?
The pimple like thing described suggests an abscess caused due the infection from the tooth.
I would advice you to visit a dentist and get the needful treatment done after having a radiograph done. Root canal treatment will be required for the complete elimination of infection.
For pain you can continue with Advil , antibiotics amoxillin for the infection (if you are not allergic to any medicine).
Do warm saline gargling.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
