A member asked:
Why do i have little white dots on the gum by the molar that hurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible abscess: See your dentist and you have pain so you need relief. The white dots could just be glands, but with pain I would worry about an abscess anyway. An examination will quickly reveal what needs to be done
