I Had A Root Canal And My Remaining Tooth Fell Out. A Hole Has Appeared. Why?

January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I lost my back molar some time ago due to the tooth breaking in half after a while the tooth became painful and the dentist did root canal, however the left over remains of the tooth fell out and in the space where the tooth was a hole has developed in the gum. The gum is now wearing down and the hole is getting deeper and wider. The teeth either side of the hole seem fine and the gum does not hurt and is not inflamed or discoloured in anyway. What do I do about the hole and why has it formed what can I do to stop the gum from wearing away? Thank you for your time. I hope you can offer your advice.

Will my gum disease reoccur?

August 23rd, 2011
Q.

I’av just been to see my dentist and he said that I have intermediary gum disease and he will need to clean all four gum quadrants before doing an implant. Also, he says that I may lose another tooth due to the gum disease but may be able to save it. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. Does gum disease reoccur once you have already had it? Is it safe to get an implant if you have had recent gum disease? I am trying to find out these things now as I have had botched dental work done in the past, including having several teeth removed which did not need to be removed resulting in an infection, resulting in gum decay. Anyhow, I am trying to improve my mouth the best I can. Thank you for any answers you can provide.

I’av had a blister in my mouth for 2years, what is it?

August 3rd, 2011
Q.

I have a small blister on my gum which I have had for about 2 years.
When I apply a pressure to it via my finger the liquid inside it escapes possibly through one of my teeth & I get an unpleasant taste in the area of the tooth.
I do not get any pain in my gum or teeth.
What is causing this blister to keep coming up & how can I stop it happening?
Regards
