I had an abscess on my gum explode unexpectedly yesterday that I didn't know I had.
I have very good teeth and gums but I've had this one spot on my gum way in the back of my mouth above the very last molar that has always had a small lump and would get sore sometimes. My dentist has always told me that the pocket on that molar is too deep and it just gets irritated with food sometimes.
I floss and brush after every meal and have my teeth cleaned every three months. I'm told that I take outstanding care of my teeth and gums. Still this one area of my gum has always given me problems.
Yesterday I noticed that it was sore again and I stuck my finger back there and it exploded with puss and blood and is now completely gone with no more lump or anything back there. My gum for the first time in years feels and looks like the gums in the rest of my mouth.
Makes me wonder about my dentist.
