What Causes Bumps With Clear Fluid Around The Gums Post Tooth Filling?
My daughter had a filling in her baby tooth. Its about 6 weeks now and she now has 2 soft white bumps high above on the gum on the outside of the gum and when she pushes on it the clear fluid goes through to the inside of her gum. what do you think?
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have bumps with clear fluid around the gums post tooth filling which is due to when infection travel through the tooth and form beside the gum and reach the root of the tooth. It could be due to trauma or infection which can lead to such symptoms. I would suggest you to take Antibiotics such as Augmentin along with painkillers. Visit periodontist once and get it examined. You should go for scaling and root planing. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do gargles with warm saline rinses.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
