What Is Causing The Swell And Blister Looking Sore In My Daughter S Mouth?
My 6 yr old daughter had a filling put in a bottom back molar yesterday - her first filling. Today, her bottom lip on same side is swollen and has a whiteish blister looking sore with a line extending out of her mouth resembling a burn line. I ve tried to call the after hours phone number for her dentist to no avail. What could be the problem and what can I do for her?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling and blister could be because of the burn or trauma caused by the aerotar (heat produced during cavity cutting). You can use a topical anesthetic and analgesic like anabel gel 3-4times daily for 5days. The other cause of swelling could be gum or tooth infection. If it is because of infection then you have to take a course of antibiotics like penicillin(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi
Thank you for your query with HCM, as you mentioned she underwent treatment for filling, swelling what iyou are might be due to while treatment procedure your dentist have to retract the cheek for visibility that too it is posterior tooth where visibility is comprimised to extent which ended up in swelling of lip coz of edema formation but, thus will come down by 2-3 days. Nothing to worry if any problem appears then visit your dentist.
Hope my answer would be helpful to your query.
