Hello.  I recently chipped my tooth from eating popcorn.  I happen to have a cleaning a few days later and my dentist decided to smooth out a part of the tooth until we could deal with it later.  Now I have a blister like feeling over my tooth with pus coming out of it.  I wake up in the morning with what feels like a wad of gum on my tooth and with the sides of my nose swollen.  I went to a specialist/dentist yesterday in San Francisco who looked through a microscope at my tooth and couldnt see anything at all.  What I feel with my tongue is a large soft sack like blister from my gum line over my tooth but when anyone looks inside my mouth they cant see a thing and I cant really feel it with my finger.  If I touch it with my finger I can feel a sutle change in its shape when I retouch it with my tongue.  I know its there and its so frustrating to pay someone money and they cant see it or help me solve the problem.   To be honest I am going a little crazy with it and its affecting everything.  Please help.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The swelling and pain will be because of the abscess formed in relation to the tooth you have mentioned. I would suggest you to get a radiograph done to know the exact location of the abscess and the condition of the tooth, which may require a root canal treatment for complete cure. For the pain you can take an ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) and you may need a dose of antibiotic on prescription. Please consult an endodontist and get the needful done. Use warm saline gargling and avoid applying hot bag on the surface. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
