Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

Q: Prolems With My Gums After a Broken Filling

so basically i lost a filling on a bottom tooth on the left side of my mouth. i dont have insurance so i didnt go to the dentist about it plus i kinda have bad teeth to begin with. well, the past month i have been battling pain when i eat and random pains for no reason. im in fear of something really bad and im wondering if i can do something or maybe buy something to help this situation until i can afford a dentist.

my gums have created a bubble off the side of them and it crouds around the bottom of the tooth i lost my filling in. the bubble goes away as long as nothing touchs it or irritates it but when i eat it gets worse. it fills with a fluid i dont know of, plus has a lot of blood in it. im sure its really bad. im only 26 and im scared this is the beginning of me loosing my teeth. can anyone help me fiqure out whats wrong if i have to i will post a picture of what it looks like.

please go to the dentist and dont pop it whatever you do--i dont think you will loose your teeth ---get it checked out as soon as you can. if it pops you might want to take in a sample of the fluid and have it tested for any kind of infection

I had something like yours previously mine was due to an infection, the pus and blood have no way to flow so it collects and cause a bubble effect on the gum, my advice is for you to go to a dentist to have it treated DON'T self treat like me I ended up having my right side jaw looked like a ball. After this please brush your teeth and gum at least twice a day, people have the misconception about brushing the gum, brush the tip of the gum with soft brush, food tends to get stuck there. All the best take care.

when you loose a filling, tooth nerve could be exposed and baceteria get into it and causes inflamation ,many times the infection gets out throught the gums, that is called an abcess ,if this teeth is not repair with a root canal treatment and a crown infection would persist and eventually the tooth have to be extracted . please visit your dentist as soon as possible if you wait more you could loose more than one tooth remember money is not the problem the problem are priorities if we can spend on movies, shoes makeup ,hair products ,fake nails we can spend in health too
