Hi,
Could you please tell us that is swelling limited to just around localized area or is it generalized.
Keeping in mind the age of your Son, it could be related to erupting permanent teeth.
Better consult some local dentist as visual inspection will make it more clear.
Time being you can give Alum water rinse ( Dissolve some Alum in warm water and ask your son to rinse with this)

He might be suffering from gingivitis. Must be needing oral prophylaxis. Take advise from some, good pedodontist. Meanwhile help him maintain oral hygiene, and do warm saline rinses.

hello, will you able to tell us that swelling is present in only some part of mouth or it is present overall mouth?
It might be because of erupting permanent teeth.
Consult nearest dentist.IT might be because of gum infection.

get it checked by an expert as it can be a simple gum infection or tooth eruption region or abscess in a tooth due to caries.

Hi, If you don't remember anything it was a safer option that you had postpone 72 .

It is your inner feeling that it might be because you did not had any food. For now just wait for her periods. If she has nor ...

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again

Doctor's Answer

The tissue tag should resolve in 7-14 days max. rinse with warm water (mix in salt) 3-5 times a day to help keep the wound clean. smoking is a personal choice. IF you truly have NOT smoked post extraction you may start now. ...

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?

Tooth powder was used century back when pastes were not used. The problem here is the abrasive nature of tooth powder. Consultant your dentist and undergo complete scaling and then ask for a complete assessment for your gums, based on which a suitable treatment can be advised. ...
