I have had a slight infection above one of the back teeth. Some thick liquid discharge is there
Patient: Hello, I have had a slight infection above one of the back teeth. Eventually white and sometimes thick liquid leaked out. I had assumed it was the infection coming out. This has stopped but now it almost appears like bone coming through the gum. It is about 1/8 and jagged. What is this? a hardened part of the infection? Doctor: Hi Arthur, An X-ray is needed to make a proper diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is established only then treatment can be initiated. Please consult your dental surgeon at your earliest. Thanks & Take care
