For about 4 months now I have had a small rad spot right on my gum underneath my tooth. I do not think it has gotten any bigger, but it bleeds very easily and is worrying me because it is not going away. I do have a little gingivitis, but I brush everyday so I take pretty good care of my teeth, but I am just worried it is cancer or something. Do you have any ideas?
Hello there.... There are many reasons for that... Do you have any history of injury to the tooth?or is your tooth decayed? Either of the causes the infection spreads to the apical part of tooth and would result in sinus...that intermittently keeps discharging pus and blood...you have to either get you tooth root canal treated or get it removed...\"b\"if you don't have any of the above-mentioned causes then the problem might be with your gums proper... Gingivitis is the inflammation of your gums that happens because of accumulation of the deposits over your teeth.... You need to get your scaling done... Following which a gum astringent is prescribed that would take care of your bleeding gums... Consult your dental surgeon for further clinical evaluation and management...
