I have something in my mouth that I have no clue what it is.

Question

I lost a tooth a little while ago and ever sense then the tooth next to it was hurting. It doesn't hurt, but now there is a bump above the tooth that hurt. Does anyone know what is it? Is it something to worry about? Or just let it go away?

Answer 1

It's possibly an abscess, which is basically a blister filled with puss. The infection can spread to the rest of your mouth, or to the bone in your jaw. You really need to go see a dentist ASAP! Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's hard to answer based on your description.  I'm guessing either an abscess or a root fragment.  Just go see your dentist.

Answer 3

you should go to the dentist...bacteria could of spread!...i mean im not dentist ...but Im thinking you shouldnt wait...
