Is A Blood Blister Under The Cracked Tooth A Concern?

Hi, I have a lump under my cracked tooth (been left untreated), inside the tooth I have like a blood bubble, felt some pressure so decided to pop the bubble and blood and a little bit of white/yellow puss came out but mainly blood the lump has shrunk a little bit but not much and is painless and quite solid, does it sound like cancer or and abscess because after a lot of googling it’s got me worried!!

Hello,

A bump under the gums of a cracked tooth that is discharging pus can be a dental abscess. It has shrunk as the pus is somewhat drained. You should consult an oral physician or an endodontist and get evaluated. An x-ray should be done to rule out the exact cause of symptoms. In case if it is an abscess. Then root canal treatment should be done followed by a course of antibiotics like Augmentin and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
