Hi, I have just had a tooth extracted yesterday and I am now wondering if my other teeth are also affected. I have what feels like squidgy teeth and this is still there now the affected tooth has been removed.

Suffered from 26th Nov 2011 with the tooth horrendous stabbing pain yet no known cause. No obvious damage or decay. Tooth felt loose and with pressure the pain was often very acute. This settled a little however then an abcess occurred leading to removal of the tooth. 2 of the 3 roots had rotted away. However now the next but one tooth to it still doesn’t feel right and I am terrified the problem is occurring in these other teeth now too.

Can gum disease develop over night?

February 22nd, 2012
Q.

Can tooth abscess/ tooth ache cause gum disease? As I am having tooth abscess and waiting for a root canal treatment that will take place next Friday. Last Wednesday my dentist told me that I have gum disease and that tooth will need to be extracted. She never mentioned that even the day before ( Tues.) when I came to see her about swelling under my tongue. Can gum disease develop over night? I do have good oral hygiene. This tooth has large filling ( done 3 years ago) and had been very sensitive since late Dec., more to cold than hot. Then in late Jan. it became very sensitive to hot/even warm water. Then I experienced terrible tooth ache and now that the tooth is death, and I am having abscess. I do not recall that my gum bleed after brushing.
