Gums hurting, little red, white bubble, pus came out through the top of gums on pressing. What is it?
Patient: my gums in front of my 2 front lower teeth were hurting for about 3 and were a little red and the pain went away so I checked it out and there was a white bubble so I popped it throughout the day and today I checked it out and the bump is pretty much gone but when I pressed on it pus came out through the top of my gums why is that? Doctor: Hello and welcome to hcm forum,Periodontal abscess has developed beneath the gums of lower front teeth.Deep scaling and root planning is adviced.Abscess has to be drained and curetted.Take complete course of antibiotics.Maintain oral hygiene well.Use soft interdental toothbrush and brush your teeth invoving all aspects of teeth.Also get your blood sugar level monitored.Scaling has to be done whenever plaque gets accumulated.Use chlorhexidine mouthrinse to gargle.Take care.
