I have two questions one I have a tooth that broke down to the gum a long time ago. Now on the gum which is white in color I have a raised bump that is skin colored pink I pushed on it and pus and blood came out. Im afraid to go to the dentist because my diabetis is 475 to 500. What can I do?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The flesh growing out from a broken tooth region can be a gingival polyp or a pulp polyp. The other possible cause can be a periodontal abscess secondary to gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated and take a radiograph like IOP AR to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a gingival polyp, you need to get the tooth restored and the gingival growth can be excised. If it is a pulp polyp or periodontal abscess, the tooth has to be tooth canal treated with the excision of the polyp. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
