I Have A Small Crack On My Tooth. Is There Any Chance This Could Be Down To Gum Recession?

January 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dimitrios. I have a horizontal line (possibly a crack) on my lower left incisor, just above the gum line. It has recently been very sensitive to cold drinks. Could this be linked to gum recession? Or due to a cracked tooth? The crack is at the front of the tooth, not the back as far as I an tell. The ridge or crack is barely visible, but I can feel it if I run my nail over it. I have a dentist appointment next week, but I am worried about leaving it so long.

Thanks.

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
