What Causes Soreness Of Red Gum With White Spots?
Question: GUM SORE BETWEEN 28 AND 29 TOOTH, BOTTOM RIGHT. A COUP OF MONTH AGO I HAD 2 CROWNS REPLACED(ITS RED RED WITH A WHITE SPOT IN THE MIDDLE.
Brief Answer:
Gum infection...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Can you provide a photo of the red gums with a white spot in the middle?
Until your photo is in, from what you are describing, and if the red gum with white spot is located between the teeth where you had 2 crowns, it is indicative for root infection.
I advise to :
- consult with dentist as soon as possible
- run X-ray of teeth where the redness and white spots are present
- keep a good oral hygiene until you visit your dentist
- apply local oral pain relief gel and oral antiseptic
Wish fast recovery!
