Question 1

bit gum with my tooth and now i have a small blood blister. what can i do to make this heal fast?

Accepted Answer

Warm salt rinses: The blister will need to heal on it's own, but if it is a bit swollen in the area, warm salt water rinses several times a day will help it along.

Question 2

i have a small bump on my gum underneath my tooth. it looks like a blister but has been there for over a month now. it does not hurt or changed size.

Accepted Answer

Fistula?: What you are describing sounds like a fistula or drainage track from an infected tooth. Your dentist can confirm this with an X-ray and a Gutta percha placed in the "gum pimple". It wouldn't hurt because the pressure is vented thru the pimple, but if an infection it is dangerous to your overall health. Have your dentist help you treat your problem.font wait for a crisis!

Question 3

lump on the inside of my gum next to a wizdom tooth. its not painful, just feels like a blister full of water. acured a day ago. any thoughts ?

Accepted Answer

Two thoughts: Either an infection or a mucocele. It doesn't make sense to take any chances. See a dentist to know for sure. If it is an infection, even though it doesn't hurt now, it will soon enough and usually at the most inopportune time. If it's a mucocele, all the better. When was your last dental check-up?

Question 4

my 11 month old has a blister on his gums. it's not directly under any teeth, it's white hard (but not a tooth), and red around it. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

New tooth coming in.: Your baby most likely is about to get a new tooth in that spot. Before the tooth emerges, the gum may feel hard and look white as you described.  Sometimes you can feel the edge of the tooth by rubbing your(clean) finger on the gum. Rubbing and cold on the gum should help it feel better until the tooth erupts.

Question 5

i have a blister in gum is it serious? can i pop it? on saterday i got hit in mouth and my tooth started hurting then i noticed my gum was swollen today i have a blister .

Accepted Answer

It : It is hard to say why you have the "blister". It is possible if you were hit hard enough, your tooth fractured under the gumline. If that is the case, you may need to have it extracted.

It's best that you go to a dentist to have an xray to determine what damage has been done.

Question 6

allergies (?) after a dental visit w/ extreme fat lip &  blisters on gums, roof of mouth(front tooth cap cemented) - topical novicane only & cement us

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: I wish that i could give you a definite answer.  There are so many possibilities.  Although you gave us some good information, without knowing exactly what was done and used from the dentist's perspective, it could be an allergic reaction or a combination of factors.  You should notify the dentist and he\she will be able to give you the best answer and advice going forward for the future.

Question 7

tooth and gum pain with braces on. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Not unusal: You should see the dentist who is doing your orthodontics to make sure this is normal.

Question 8

please help, tooth and gum separation! is there a way to fix my big gums from showing so much?

Accepted Answer

Gums VS Teeth: I cannot see exactly what "tooth and gum separation" is looking like in your mouth, but does not sound good. Has it been a long time since you last saw your dentist for dental hygiene care? You may have tartar building up and pushing the gums away. If so, this is serious and needs dentist attention right away. A specialist called "periodontist" is also great to visit.

Question 9

i'm curious as to which is better for the health of the tooth and gum, regular braces or invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Either one: If done properly and under supervision can maintain the health of the teeth and supporting structures. The expertise of the orthodontist, as well as you following directions and keeping your teeth clean is what is key.

Question 10

what is a method at home i can do for tooth and gum pain?

Accepted Answer

OTC pain meds: The pain meds will mask the symptoms until you get to a dentist to have your problems treated. Unfortunately, dentistry is not a do it yourself profession. The sooner you call the sooner you will feel better and the better chance you will have to save your teeth.
