Hi im 26, male and recently i have noticed a white substance under my gums, i can squeeze it out by applying pressure on my gum and it has a terrible smell to it, i have started brushing everyday as i thought this would probably be the reason why but just incase there is another reason for it i thought it best to seek advice
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, According to your clinical history I suspect you have developed a gingival abscess or a gum boil that is Chat Doctor.  It is caused due poor oral hygiene, improper brushing and flossing that leads to accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of the teeth.  It needs to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants, this will help in resolving the symptoms. Followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics.  I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine.  I hope this helps, take care.
