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.
Hello Dr Moore, I hope you can help, I noticed today that my gum was a bit sore in my front tooth. I took a look and discovered I have a small hole on the top of my tooth under my gum. Is this just a cavity or something worse? I have always noticed that my gum on that side was lifted higher than my other tooth. My dentist has never seemed concerned about it but I am not aware if this hole was previously there before. Any suggestions on what this can be? I am trying to contact my dentist but before then could you offer any help or advice that would really put my mind at ease. Thank you.
Hello,
I hope you can help me please, I had RCT on a upper back tooth which was not successful I changed my dentist and had the RCT done again, it was very painful afterwards and took several months to settle down. My problem now is that there is a small old filling on the inside of this tooth which is making my tongue sore I spoke to the dentist about having the old filling redone and was told because it was attached to a larger filling it was best to leave it and he filed down the old filling to try to smooth it but this is not successful. I did look at the tooth with a small mirror to see for myself and the filling looks old but I also noticed a dark horizontal line just under the gum line on this tooth and when I touched it the tooth was tender, I am worried that some damage has been done to the tooth whilst having the two RCT.
I can’t afford to loose this tooth so please could you advise me what I should do, I would appreciate your knowledge regarding my problem.
Thank you so much
