Tooth ache

2020-07-18 11:13:32
I had been suggested for root canal as I have a cavity between my last two tooth on the right side and it's been more than a year I have not been eating on that side. But now when I was supposed to get my rc done the lockdown was imposed and I have a gum growth over the tooth. Is it some cancerous lump??

No, it's not cancerous. Do not worry. Lump would have been due to infection in that particular tooth which might have spread to the roots leading to gum swelling. You would need antibiotics and x-ray needs to be taken to see the severity. Visit your nearby dentist for that.
Health Tips
maintain oral hygiene. gargle with betadiene mouth wash thrice daily.Dilute it with water and then use.

It is not necessary to be a cancerous lump... Due to accumulation of food the gum is swollen...the dentist may not do  RCT  in these COVID times but he can always cleans the gum.. this will also give you relief for time being...
Next Steps
painkillers can be taken for temporary relief!
Health Tips
do warm saline rinses to keep that area clean and healthy!

Mostly due to pus accumulation the adjacent boil type lump has appeared. Take antibiotics and antacid along. Do not hot compress extra orally. Or any types of balm or ointments application. Followed by that Get Xray done followed by Rc treatment without delay asap.
