What Could The White Bump Near Cracked Tooth Be Indicative Of?
Good afternoon, I have a cracked tooth (tooth before the wisdom tooth in the left side) and the area around the tooth is red and has a medium size white bump next to it that just appeared today (10/7/14). I have a dentist appointment on Wednesday, October 15th, 2014. May I know more or less what this could be? any opinions, will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white bump around the cracked tooth can be a periapical or periodontal abscess secondary to infection from a cracked tooth. If i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to take a radiograph like IOPAR to confirm the daignosis. If there is a infection in tooth, then get it treated with root canal treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
