Swollen gums and a bump around two teeth with cavities.?

Question

For about 2 or 3 days I have had swollen gums and a soft bump in the back on my mouth next to two teeth that have cavities. I'm pregnant, and don't have dental insurance. Does anyone know if I should just try and "pop" the bump myself? It's very painful, and it's keeping me from eating.

Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Sounds like you have some kind of infection going on there, kinda hard to say without proper xrays
you really should see a dentist, it will get worse and could affect your baby

Answer 2

Give him a child's dose of Benadryl. I had a puppy who got stung on her lip and the vet said to calm down and give her a child's dose of Benadryl. If she refuses it, mix it up in some meat or wet dog food. Do call the vet, but I wouldn't recommend driving over there. It would cost you more and the dog might just have a harmless sting. Trust me, this does not sound deathly allergic. Sting allergies are usually most commonly found in toy dogs. So relax. If your dog is eating hard food his mouth is fine. Just give him some attention and do what I prescribed.

Answer 3

Sounds like you have some gum disease and possibly an abcessed tooth. FIND a way to go to the dentist. When teeth go bad, they send posion through out you body.....especially your heart. Protect yourself and your baby....see a dentist!!!
Good luck. Pops

Answer 4

ALL THE SYMPTOMS YOU'VE DESCRIBED POINT TO THE SIGNS OF AN ABSCESSES TOOTH(TEETH). IT'S CRITICAL TO RECEIVE TREATMENT FOR THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT.
DO NOT TRY TO "POP" THESE BUMPS, THEY'RE FILLED WITH INFECTED PUS.
PLEASE SEE A DENTIST WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE INSURANCE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
