<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Last year I was referred to a dental specialist as I had pus coming from my lower toothgum and he found that the tooth was fractured under the gum so took the tooth out all was well. However, I now have some white sticky pus? coming out around a top crowned tooth. I push my gum several times a day to expel this sticky substance. However, the problem I have is with my current dentist who I have been wish for approx 9 months. Every time I have told him about this problem he says that he cannot see anything coming from my gum is very reluctant to investigate further and told me that because of the previous problems I had I am being paranoid. I just dont know how to deal with this - should I change dentists?  <response>: Hi, In my opinion u should take an opinion from another dentist preferably a periodontist who specializes in gum diseases, Was I understand from your symptoms is 1 it could be a mild gum infection in which v small amount of pus oozes out on pressure this can result in loss of bone support to the teeth...can be treated easily with deep scaling n antibiotics if early.2 it could be food debris lodged in the gum pockets around n beneath the crown which may be expelled on pressure. But best to see a good dentist and with a X-ray n good examination can be diagnosed. All the best
