Hi my sister was at the dentist recently who noticed a spot near an area where she has lost some bridge work. She is on medication and her teeth are in poor condition. The dentist said the spot could be caused by a number of factors - there is a white substance under the spot
Gum soreness could be because of number of reasons like gingivitis means gums inflamation , periodontitis , autoimmune diseases , vitamin deficieny , menstrual factors or because of mouth injury.
Appliances like bridges could cause irritation to that area and constant irritation can cause ulceration will lead to spot and white patchy area.
Treatment for this is saline rinses, gargles with mouth wash.
Dologel or pain relieving mouth paints best treatment options.
Mix equal parts of water and hydrogenperoxide and apply it with cotton swab. Repeat it 3 times a day.
