14 years ago i had a tooth pulled.and the gum has been like a little bubble ,red,and hurts to touch.cant even brush it .gotta chew on left side. well it started hurting really bad so i go to a dental clinc. i told him dont touch it,but he stuck that little metal thing right in it. it hurt so bad, i fell outta the chair ,started crying. he got mad ,said its ginsavitis. but you cant just have ginsavitis for 14 years in the same little spot???well now part of the bump is black from where he poked me. like its brused or dying?? can someone please help me ID whats been going on,or what it is. 14 years ago the dentice did a biophys on it. cut half of it off. they didnt know what it was then and i guess they dont know what it is now. and i dont know anymore. what could this thing be? nothing will numb it not even novocaine. its a sharp pain allmost like a nerve ?

well, first off, the word is gingivitis and you, you can have it in the same spot for years and years, but in your case, I dont think thats what it is. it sounds like an infection or something left from the extracted tooth, but without seeing it I really couldnt tell you. try going to a different dentist and getting another opinion becuase a good dentist wouldnt leave something like that.

you should consult a specialist right away, a periodontist perhaps (a dentist who specializes in gingival problems). He will be able to tell you what the problem is, and what needs to be done. He will observe and take note of the tissue consistency, the color, etc.
For now, don't do anything that may damage the tissue further, like poking it, rubbing it, etc.

Did the dentist take an x-ray of the area? Where exactly is it ? Can you provide more info. What restorationreplaced the missing tooth. Does it bleed easily?

Drink a one liter of lemonade and the bubble will disappear.
