Question

My gum is sticking out in a ball shape what is it and how do i make it go away?

Answer 1

You have to brush your teeth more or better; it may be a gum disease you should go see the dentist if it is swollen or uncomfortable.

Answer 2

You have an abscess. Take care of it immediately! If you don't have dental insurance, go to a dentist that you like and ask for a recommendation. Some plans are ten, fifteen dollars a month (after an initial payment of 150-200 dollars to start the coverage) with luck. Those are just quotes I found online, I'm going to try to find more later. I had no idea it could be that cheap.

You will want to get a root canal if possible -- you don't want to have that tooth pulled! It gets worse and worse and worse the longer it stays.

Answer 3

Try getting a cotton ball, and soaking it in salt water. Apply it directly to the gum. It should shrink substantially. Salt water is excellent for mouth sores and gum problems.

Don't listen to the thumbsdowner...Works ALL the time. Been using it since I was a kid. Go for it.

Answer 4

Sounds like an abscess blowing your gum tissue out.  You need to see a dentist so you can get a prescription for an anti-biotic, get a root canal or have an extraction.

Answer 5

It is an abscess pop it if you can and dont swallow the fluid. It should heal and go away on its own. If not you need a dr or dentist. Either will help you
