hi,
first of all there is no such term as " gum decay"
either it's a tooth decay or a gum swelling.
I advice you to visit your Dentist and get your teeth checked .
Always make it a point that you visit your dentist for a routine check up.

the swelling may be due to decay of the teeth or the gum might be infected.if the tooth is decayed you will have to go for root canal treatment,if the swelling is due to infected gums you might have to go for scaling and root planing.visit your nearby dentist.
thankyou.

ok Bhuvaneshwari i can understand your question and also you suffering from other disease
mostly many patient complaints same thing and treatment require root canal

few patient need gum treatment

My left wisdom tooth has been growing in side ways, but has not been able to come in fully. It started hurting about two days ago. I did not think anything of it and thought it was just growing in more. There was a flap of skin/gum covering part of the tooth. When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that part of it (underneath where the skin covered before) was now a blackish color. I got a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my throat around the same time my tooth started hurting. Are these related? I have a dentist appointment in a week. Is there anything I can do to help it to make it better or ease the pain? It hurts to chew on that side of my mouth and it hurts when I swallow. Will my tooth be okay until I get to the dentist and what will be done by the dentist? Do you think my tooth is infected? Will I have to take antibiotics?

Doctor's Answer

Hi! The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative. A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ...
