I have a lump inside my mouth on the lower gum on my jaw. It feels really strange when I talk, eat and smile. It’s quite painful. The pain feels like shooting pains in a way. It also hurts if I bend my head to the left (the side the lump is on). Please help me, what should I do? I’m really worried in case it is a gum infection or cancer because I am young. I only found the lump 10 minutes ago but as soon I started having lunch the pain started. Thank you.
A 20 year old filling dropped out of my upper molar. Since being screwed and refilled I have had severe pain on and off most days for a year.My dentist keeps saying it is gum infection but there is no sign of inflammation or rot after all this time and even if I don’t eat on that side,eating can be excruciating for ten minutes and then the pain will completely disappear, and return sometime throughout the day,often without eating or drinking anything.Been using Cortisol soaked brushes mouthwash and toothpaste all this time but my dentist just won’t reason that it could be something else.
Could the screws be touching a nerve maybe? Do I need a root canal? Sometimes the pain goes right up to the base of my eye socket,and I am convinced that gum infection would not feel like this.I never had gum problems before the filling dropped out, and yet I am supposed to believe that I have now from the very first day after the new filling onwards for a year now.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated, I am 62.
hi there, I am considering receiving vaneers but i have receding gums due to a gum infection i had. i am unsure if vaneers are even right for me and if this could be sorted out by a less painfull process, what do you think? my gums have receded to quite far down on my bottom jaw. everywhere else is healthy i think. but the bit at the front (at the bottom) is not the same at all. two of my front bottom teeth are very slightly loose feeling. i do not know if it is just my imagination. all i want to do is to regain my usual smile. please help me. thanks.
Hi there,
I had veneers done in spain around 6 years ago and they were done on one plate so all four front veneers are as one and I can’t clean the gums in between – do you think this will lead to problems, it already seems to be as the gums are bleeding and slightly receeding but my question is – should I get all four replaced and if so, what would that likely cost? I am worried I will just face many problems and they are the four front ones so its important they look good too š can you give me some impartial advice. Does it work to have them all on one plate – if there are already problems will I need to replace them??
thank you in advance!
i have a gum infection which antibiotics did not get rid of, my dentist said 2 leave it for three years. My new dentist said i need a root filling on front tooth and a re root filling on the tooth my other dentist did, what is my best option. If my tooth was to fall out would around the mouth go saggy, if i got an implant?
