Red and white patches in gums
For nearly 2 years I am suffering from this, what started as a small white patch in one gum area has now slowly grown to white patch which then turn to red to for gum areas. No burning or pain while eating normally. But a tingling sensation when I eat something hot or spicy. I have tried few oral doctors who did deep cleaning, gave me oxidant medicines, gave me turbocot to apply as oral cream steroid. I even lost weight in between for update my lifestyle, proper brushing. But all in vain. It is now spreading to 1 gum at a time and now I am frustrated. I need someone who could help me get rid of this. Please can someone guide me on exactly what is this and how can I resolve this.

Blood from left 1st molar while brushing
I have been observing that whenever my 6 yo brushes at night, blood come out from her 1 molar on the left. It happened consecutively for few days a month back and then it stopped but now again since yesterday I am noticing blood in the mouth while brushing and today she spitted more blood than usual. I am planning to go to the dentist tomorrow but till then any advise on why this is happening will be highly appreciated.
Dental bridge pain persists
My dental bridge was recently replaced after 15 years due to sensitivity in the last abutment tooth. It was root-canal treated and a new bridge was placed. It has been 9 days since the new bridge was placed. I experience pain and occasional sensitivity in the last tooth. I had an OPG taken and the dentist says everything looks normal. He even reduced my high points twice. I even got a second opinion, for which the dentist said the RCT looks good, but if the problem persists then there's no option other than extracting the tooth. I only had a molar extracted on my other side and the other molar is waiting to be crowned. Now with this opinion, I am even more anxious and devastated as I could permanently lose all my molars on the lower jaw. The pain is still there and it gets worse in the morning after I wake up. But I can manage it for some time but it won't go away. I am seriously scared there might be a hidden tooth fracture that's not showing on the X-ray. Any advice is appreciated.
