See your dentist : The blister is usually due to inflammation and infection.  There are other causes such as viral infection.  See your dentist so an evaluation and treatment can be done.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Fractured tooth ?: This really needs to be diagnosed personally by a local dentist. Could also be a non-vital nerve. Have your dentist explain your treatment options.

Question 5

i have strep on one side and on that side my guns are swollen and sensitive, so are my teeth. can't chew. could flossing push strep into my gums?

Please see dentist!: It sounds like you really need to see a dentist asap.  From your symptoms you may already have an infection going on, and more than flossing is needed to treat it.  Please don't wait, because it could get worse.

Accepted Answer

Transitioning: I can certainly understand your discomfort and difficulty transitioning from a natural dentition to a prosthesis. It will take a couple of weeks for your gingiva to heal. After that, your dentist can evaluate the fit of your prosthesis and adjustments can be made.

Question 7

white roof of mouth white pus pockets in upper guns round white circles in cheeks gum disease in lower teeth lost one another ready to fall out.

Accepted Answer

See any dentist ASAP: for comprehensive evaluation, x-rays and treatment plan. If untreated, the condition is likely to become worse, and you may lose the rest of your teeth. Do not delay.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Baking soda: Many years ago the keyes technique was popular. This included hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. This is to kill the periodontal pathogens ( bacteria). It was shown to be no more effective than regular good toothpaste with flouride.

Question 9

i have pain in my tooth?

Accepted Answer

Tooth pain: The most common reason is advanced decay (infection). Please make an immediate appointment with a local Dentist. This will not self heal. There's no OTC that will treat an infected tooth. You must see a Dentist.

Question 10

tooth eroding in 5 years?

Accepted Answer

Could be........: I can't know for certain, but common causes of teeth eroding away in children of such a young age could be from caries, nursing bottle mouth syndrome or certain diets that erode away teeth.  Common to certain areas of the world are betel nuts (areca nuts).  It could any of these causes, a combination, or something else.  See a general dentist or pedodontist for a diagnose and treatment.
