What Causes Blisters On The Upper Gum?

I have been getting blisters on my upper left jaw teeth gums. I can't even chew on that side of my mouth! My dentist took x-rays and said they did not show anything and that I did not have any decay in those upper jaw teeth. He gave me a prescription for antibiotics and told me if they help then I might need a root canal. Well, they helped but I am still puzzled by this situation. My dentist said he would have to refer me to an oral surgeon in another town as he didn't perform that type of surgery.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blisters on upper gums which seems to be due to blood dyscrasias, gingivitis/ periodontitis and due to poor oral hygiene. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get it examined. Go for complete examination and start treatment after that. Go for blood tests as well. You should take care of oral hygiene maintenance. Go for scaling and root planning it is due to deposition of deposits. Use antiseptic mouthwash. Brush and floss twice a day. Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food. Do warm saline gargles several times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
