I have broken teeth in my gums and now have an infection will salt water help
Q. I have got teeth broken in my gums for years. now they have started hurting me and when i swollow it hurts on roof of my mouth aswell.the problem is i have a relly bad phobia of dentists and all medication so i am worried if i leave my teeth and i have a abcess or infection is it dangerous for me .would salt water clear up a infection also if i did have a abcess would my face be swollen its not but does that mean i dont have a abcess.what do think i could do
A. Unfortunately salt water will not clear up an infection and it is likely that if the roots have been "broken" in the gums for years that they may well be infected.
It is essential now that you make an appointment at your local dentist for xrays to see the extent of any infection - they may be able to offer sedation techniques to remove the broken teeth which is especially beneficial to nervous patients

hi i broke my front permanent tooth above the gumline but its still intact just mobile. i dont want to have it extracted as i cant stand dentures and i box for a local club
does pain always come with a absess
I recently had one of my lower tooth exacted from a dentist. In the process of removing the tooth the dentist was not able to remove one the roots from my gum. Should I visit another dentist to have it removed? Or will it be alright.
Clove oil and also camphor oil mixed in sesame oil has been known to strengthen the gums and highly beneficial for oral health.
Swishing sesame oil in the mouth for 15 minutes not swallowing but spitting out at the end is beneficial to oral health.
I have a broken tooth and part of it is gone (last – left – lower jaw). I would like to know the cost of a new filling (probably a big one)as I don’t want to wait fro 2-3 weeks until my NHS.. as it is a big cavity I don\’t want to be exposed to an infection or a more complicated situation.

My mouth is in a total mess and I’m really embarrased about it but Ido need to get it sorted out now that my front tooth is broken. Please canyou help me? Do you offer a payment plan for treatment?
Hello, Please could you give me a brief description to what options are available for a broken front tooth? My daughter who is 10 juat had an accidenton a school trip and she broke one third of a front tooth. I would reallyappreciate your advice

I was just wodering about my broken teeth. I have had a phobia for many year about dentists. Due to this and a lack of poor oral hygeine i hae let my Teeth get in a bad way. I have two on the top of my jaw which are broken but still hve partial tooth to the front. The bottom is another matter tho, i have 3 teeth that have broken and decayed so there are only small remains these all happen to be morlars. I also have a cracked tooth nearer the front. What would be the best option surgical wise? Thank you
Treatment under sedation to remove the broken teeth followed by the possibility of replacement teeth with a denture or implants
I had all my teeth removed aged 5, they small and decayed black. I think i had a calcium problem. My adult teeth came through but they to was very small. I’m aged 34 now. I have a gap in the bottom front, my 2 back bottom molars are broken down to the gum. My gums are quite small to. I feel the symmetry of my jaw/chin is off now due to the teeth my bite is obviously out of sink as well. What do you feel would be the best course of treatment?
if they are as bad as they sound you may need a full mouth rehabilitation with either dentures or crowns and bridges. If your bone is healthy could could also consider dental implants, either way you should seek advice from an experienced dentist.
I had my upper left wisdom tooth extracted on Friday the 6th, and dissolvable stitches were put in place. The site was irritated, as was the side of my tongue, while the stitches were there. The stitches came out on their on on Thursday the 12. It is now Sunday the 15, and my gum is still showing dark pink lines along where the stitches were, and is painful when my tongue rubs on the area (which it does when speaking or eating). Is this anything to be concerned about? Is it infected? Thank you for your speedy reply!
It’s a little bit early for it to be fully healed so may well still be tender to the touch. To be one the safe side I’d go back to your dentist and ask for it to be checked out and to make sure it’s healing properly and not infected Best wishes
I had 6 implants and full upper denture 3 years ago . One year ago had had new type of implants put in an a new dentue made. It never fit well. I have just had a new denture made this week by another dentist and I have swelling between two of the implants and a very rotten smell when I take the denture out. This is my third set of denture in 3 years. Do you think I might have an infection in one of the implants. Thanks for your time and any help you can give me
If there is any swelling in the mouth with any associated smell then this is not normal and is normally a sign of infection. You should definitely have this checked out by a dentist as this needs to be taken care of, otherwise there is a risk that the implant could fail and become loose.
15 years ago pain was started in my upper 2nd last teeth. I used some pain relieving tablets for relief. 2 years ago its upper internal portion partially broken in small pieces during the eating. I was happy because pain has totally removed. But some months ago bleeding started from mouth and its increasing day by day. Now I feels bad smell in mouth and yellowish fluid with blood coming from mouth specially in morning when i wake up. Please suggest me.
you need to get a dental examination including x-rays to have these teeth assessed you may need root canal treatment, do not wait as these teeth could be infected and cause you severe pain.
hi, my top left incisor beside my canine was giving me pain a couple of years ago and my dentist said it was infected and a root canal was the best treatment although she did not tell me it would be dead then start going black, can i get a new tooth on the nhs as i can not afford to get it fixed privatly? as it is now really affecting my confidence, i dont know what is the best way, is it an implant or a crown or something else. and by the way it still gives me pain sometimes,i look forward to your reply.
You might be able to get a crown done on the NHS but an implant will need to be paid for privately
my gum is covering my wisdon tooth i can see a lil bit of the tooth but not a whole lot what can i do to solve this problem thatnks and what are my risk if the gum goes compley ove the tooth ?
It depends how old you are. If you are under 18 the tooth may still erupt into place. If you are over 21 this is considered and impacted tooth and unfortunately may need to be removed. Consult with your dentist
