I had an abscess removed which was outside but adjacent to one of my front upper teeth. The gum has now healed after 2 weeks. There is still a sense of pressure when I touch the area, and today I have had nosebleeds immediately above the area of the former abscess. I will be seeing my orthodontist in 2 weeks. I have had nosebleeds before above this area of my gum. Is there likely to be a link between the two ? If so, what is the best treatment ? Many thanks! Richard Granshaw, WA
Hi Richard, your history is incomplete, you had written that you got an abscess removed, what was the etiology of that abscess and how it is removed. Does that involve the adjoining tooth. Normally if there is a pressure sensation and pus discharge from the area above the gum margin, it is because of the abscess from the tooth and the infection from the root tip is Chat Doctor. Upper front teeth are very close to the nasal floor, it may be the possibility that the infection has perforated the nasal floor and discharge mixed with blood is coming out of nasal cavity. Meet a good dentist and get it resolved soon. Thanks.
