Mucoceles pops and comes back. My gums.

A recurring mucocele or blister in the same area, even after root canal treatment and wisdom tooth extraction, can be concerning. A mucocele is a benign cyst that forms when a salivary gland duct becomes blocked or injured, leading to the accumulation of saliva in the tissues. While root canal treatment and wisdom tooth extraction are unrelated to the development of a mucocele, they were performed as potential treatments for other issues in the same area. However, it's possible that the mucocele was not directly addressed by these procedures. If the mucocele continues to reappear, it's essential to have it properly evaluated and treated by an oral surgeon or an experienced dentist. They can determine the cause of the recurrent mucocele and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Possible treatments for a recurrent mucocele may include: Surgical Removal: An oral surgeon can remove the mucocele surgically to prevent it from recurring. Marsupialization: This procedure involves creating a small incision and stitching the lining of the mucocele to the adjacent tissue, allowing it to drain freely and potentially reduce the risk of recurrence. Laser Treatment: In some cases, a laser may be used to remove the mucocele. Cauterization: Cauterization with chemical agents can be used to prevent the mucocele from reforming. Addressing Underlying Causes: If the mucocele is related to an underlying issue, such as a blocked salivary gland duct, addressing the root cause may be necessary. It's crucial to communicate your concerns with your dentist or oral surgeon and consider seeking a second opinion if needed. A thorough examination, including a review of your medical history and any imaging studies, will help the dental professional determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Mucoceles are not related to tooth infections. It will keep popping up again and again, particularly on eating spicy or sour. It needs to be excised surgically for permanent relief. The pics attached here do not appear to be of a mucocele. Firstly, this site is rare for a mucocele to appear. Then, the color is not consistent with that of a mucocele's. Get it examined by a good dentist. And if it appears to be a closed sinus, then get a sinus tracing done. Also, at times, some small objects may prick and also get enlodged in soft tissues without any knowledge and may keep showing up again and again. So, a proper evaluation along with an exploration, if needed, is required for you.

Visit an endodontist or an oral surgeon.

good luck.. :)
