What should I do if there is a white lump on my gums?

A white bag grows on the gums, which is quite common in life. For example, if you get angry, it will often cause inflammation of the gums and form such a pustule.

In severe cases, the secretions in the pustule must be removed.

The growth of abscesses indicates that the tooth roots in the gums have become inflamed, and bacterial infection of the dental pulp has evolved into root inflammation, causing the alveolar bone to spread. The alveolar bone is affected by the inflammation, so an abscess will swell on the gums, and a fistula will form from the root tip to the root of the tooth, and the secretions produced in the abscess will flow out from this.

In addition to the common root inflammation, there is another type caused by periodontitis. After the periodontal pocket is formed, white pus will flow out of the abscess, which will always be rubbed when eating. If the wound is not treated in time, it will become more and more painful! Never squeeze the abscess with your hands, as there are more bacteria on your hands. If the wound is not disinfected in time, it will cause secondary infection.

First, take an X-ray to check the damage around the root apex. If it is radiculitis, root canal treatment is generally required, and an incision is made under the gums to drain pus and remove the infected pulp tissue. After the root is disinfected, it is further filled with filling materials after a few days. If it is periodontitis, you need to make an incision and drain the periodontal pocket, flush the abscess cavity and then apply anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, just pay attention to your diet.

3. How do you determine whether the abscess is radiculitis or periodontitis?

It's very simple! Going to the hospital for a check-up will help you find out which symptom is causing it, and then prescribe the right medicine. If you don't want to go to the hospital for a check-up and want to take some antibiotics, it can reduce inflammation in a short period of time, but it is only a temporary solution and the abscesses will still recur, which will only make the condition more serious, costly and painful.
