A part of my gums is poofy?

Question

:[ I have a loose tooth. It's one of the big ones. It the first big on on the bottom right. On the side of it, a part of my gums is all poofy. I can smoosh it with my finger and sometimes and can feel/hear/taste some kind of liquid coming out. I don't know if it's blood because I don't see any red. The poof rubs against my cheek and bothers me, I can't stop playing with it! Help me!

Answer 1

okay I had something alot similar to that. It is most likely a puss pocket. Also a Apses tooth. If you go to the dentist they can fix it. Also taking your tooth out can help it to. I hope I help

Answer 2

Yes, I agree you need to get to your dentist. You may possibly have an infection. I work as a dental hygienist and have seen this before. Legally, I can't diagnose but I can tell you it's not normal. Take some pain meds, preferably an anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen, until you can get to your dentist. You will be fine until you can get in, don't wait too long though. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.

Answer 3

its absess, i think cuz when i had a toothache, it puffed out like heck,

Answer 4

probably mild gingivitis from lack of brushing.. it's common with loose teeth because you're reluctant to brush it.. just use listerine and when you lose the tooth and the new one grows in, brush it well

Answer 5

go see the dentist. U might have an abcess on your tooth

Answer 6

You really should go to your dentist for the answer to that.  Especially if it's bothering you or if it hurts.
