What Causes A Red Line Under The Tooth?
I am a 35 year old female and I have recently discovered a red line under one tooth on my gum. What could this be? I can not get in to see my dentist until next week. I am very worried about this and can't help but think this is some type of oral cancer. Please help!!

Hi,
i went through ur query
Reasons for red line under the tooth can be many but considering ur age
It could be due to Dental abscess,
It could also be due to injury to ur gums
Or sometime it can be caused due to hormonal changes too
At present with limited amount of information
U can 1. Apply ointment TESS twice daily
2. Do warm Saline Gargles
3. Maintain Oral hygiene by brushing twice daily
Hope this helps.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
This cannot be oral cancer.Do not panic.This can be stains on the tooth or plaque with chromogenic organisms.A sitting of professional scaling will be necessary to remove the stains.Take doxy-1 for three days.
Also take a OTC pain killer if necessary to control pain.
Maintain good oral hygiene.You might require a curettage,after a clinical examination.
Regards.
