Question 1

i had teeth pulled and a denture put in.   where one of the teeth were, the gum is pushed up and there si a bubble.  is this ok? if you lay your finger on the back of the other hand, and push forward, so the skin wrinkles, that's what is happening to my g

Accepted Answer

Contact : Contact the dentist who pulled the tooth and request a follow-up appointment.  This may represent a problem such as infection or it could be an intentional readjustment of tissue to accommodate the denture.

Question 2

behind my teeth on the upper right side of my mouth my gum feels swollen, almost like theres a bubble. is something stuck, or is there another problem?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Without an exam and a radiograph and knowing if you have your wisdom teeth it is impossible to tell. Let a local dentist take a look.

Question 3

why is there a bubble in my gums by my back teeth?

Accepted Answer

Probable abscess: A bubble -like a pimple - on the gums is typically an abscess (infection).  There are 2 types- gum abscess (periodontal disease) and tooth abscess (root canal).

You need to see a dentist to examine and take radiographs(x-rays) to determine the problem and the appropriate treatment.

Question 4

hi i have a small clear bubble thats mildly annoying on the inside of my mouth just under my bottom teeth on the lower gums. i believe its a clogged salivary gland or something but any ideas? is it possibly something to be concerned about? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: This sounds like a mucocele -- as you suggest yourself, a blocked gland. Entirely harmless. Google it to see photos.

Question 5

pls help me! i have a small bubble mass which is swollen gum between my upper front teeth?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Usually the swelling is due to infection so get it checked please!

Question 6

wisdom teeth were extracted 6 days ago, but noticing only a pink bubble or patch of gums/skin over where the hole should be. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Consider this: a normal phase of healing. Absent any pain, swelling, fever I would not be concerned.

Question 7

what types of bubble gum are good for my teeth?

Accepted Answer

Sugar-free: Any sugar-free gum can be good for your teeth--especially if sweetened with xylitol--a cavity fighting sweetener. Be careful: at 31, you must be careful to not abuse your jaw joints (tmjs) while chewing!

Question 8

i eat a lot of mints. about a box of tic tac every day. and bubble gum and spearmint gum. about 10. is it bad for my teeth or health?

Accepted Answer

Go sugar free: If all of these items are not sugar free, then you can be creating a wonderful acid bath and food haven for bacteria to attack your teeth and cause cavities. Sugar free is better, especially if it contains xylitol, which bacteria cannot metabolize to create acid.

Question 9

yes having pains in my gum under my tooths back of my mouth?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment. A dental abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. The dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See a dentist for a treatment ASAP.

Question 10

gum pain in the back of my mouth, behind the last tooth.., what to do?

Accepted Answer

Few reasons: The most plausible cause is periodontal abscess  infection. If ur wisdom tooth is partially erupted as ur last tooth , then it is called pericoronitis and it is more of a gingival abscess. In either case, see your dentist. He/she might even refer you to a periodontist.
