I had a root canal done about 4 years ago, and now all of a sudden there s a bump on my gums right above where I had the root canal done. A few months ago the bump busted and it was green like puss. Some of it was hard. And now the bump is back and puss still comes out, it s not always green. And when I swallow sometimes I can feel the pressure in my gums from my tongue touching the roof of my mouth. What s wrong?
Hi, Thank you for the query. According to the history it suggests you have developed a periapical abscess because of the secondary infection in the RCT teeth. This abscess have created a sinus tract is Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to get an x-ray done and see your dentist to rule out the extent of the infection and abscess. This can be treated by reopening the root canal and performing the root canal therapy and
