Question 1

would a dental abscess cause most of the back teeth on the left side of my mouth to hurt? i have a white pimple above a tooth and the pain jus started

Accepted Answer

Yes, see a dentist!: Yes the nerves in our face and neck are all connected so one tooth can cause all the teeth and tissue on that side to hurt.  The white pimple is the infection trying to drain out.  You should see a dentist immediately to determine if the tooth can be saved with a root canal or if it will need to be extracted the sooner you see a dentist the better.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Maybe normal: These bumps you are describing maybe normal bu to be sure you need to see a dentist.

Question 3

what causes a bump on the gums? ive had a thrush break out and noticed a bump on my top gum-no teeth or dentures. the bump is regularly shaped and doesnt hurt nor is it sensitive to contact with my tongue, no bleeding or draining. gum boil? abscess?

Accepted Answer

: Thrush is a fungal disease that leaves white patches not bumps on gums or cheeks. Since you have no teeth or dentures, it could be an irritation on gums from eating something hard or pointed. It could be a small root tip or piece of tooth that was left in area. See a dentist for x-ray and exam.

Question 4

tingling around one side of mouth abcess?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If you did have abscess it would have become apparent and hopefully drained by now. If your tingling has persisted for more than 2 weeks without any other symptoms then it indicates irritation of a branch of trigeminal nerve ( sensory nerve of face). You may want to wait for   another few weeks before seeking neurological help.

Question 6

Question 7

Question 8

i have an abscess on the right side of my mouth what can i do for the pain until i see a dentist?
