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

January 2nd, 2014

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.

I had a pain on the left side of my mouth now it has moved to the right side, im unable to see any signs of damage, what should i do?

October 15th, 2012

Hi, can you help please. I had a pain on the left side of my mouth, I think I had a small ulcer which has now gone by using an antibacterial mouthwash. However the pain is now the right side {top} of my mouth. The pain is quite bad when I chew. I cant quite pinpoint whether it’s my teeth or gums which are hurting. I’m unable to feel a hole in the tooth, I do not have any redness, swelling or abcess on the gum. Is there anything I can try before I see my dentsist? Thank you in advance

January 13th, 2012

Does bleeding gums definatly mean gum disease when brushing?
I get little bit of bleeding when brushing
And when eating I dometimes get really bad pain at the back of my teeth had this for ages
Now today and last night I have had a constant horrible pain in my back two teeth causing headache and a little swelling ! I don’t really know how to treat it I’ve taken paracetamol just so I could get to sleep and I brush my teeth more times which seems to reduce the pain but it’s not gone away completely know matter what I do ? I know I shouldnt but I drink alot of fizzy drinks all the time energy drink in morning and at weekends coke sometimes during day but I also drink alot of milk an orange juice! Alot of fast food and take sways but salad and veg is well I have a healthy lunch and never usually eat sweets but occasionally chocolate but it hurts to eat chocolate so I hardly do It and if I do I suck it the pain is always at the back mostly right
