Periodontology (gum treatment)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
A pocket suddenly swelled up between teeth 2 and 3 in the lower jaw; when I press on it, blood comes out. Two days earlier I had quite strong air conditioning blowing in the car. Could it be from a draft, and what do you advise me to do to make it go away? Thank you
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The condition you describe resembles acute inflammation of the interdental gum, most often caused by the presence of plaque and bacteria in this area. The condition is almost certainly not related to a draft. Clean and massage the area between the two teeth with an interdental brush. The gum will probably bleed heavily when you do this, at least for a few days. In due course it would be advisable to visit a dentist and perhaps have an X-ray taken.
Have a nice day!
