Hi. Since a few weeks ago Ive started getting these white puss filled pockets on the top back of the roof of my mouth as well as on the inside of the lower gum on the same side. Ive quit smoking some time ago and have been chewing Nicorettes. Is this reason for concern? They burst and reappear every now and then, this morning after eating some yoghurt. Thank you
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pus filled bumps can be because of the tooth infection or gum infection leading to periapical or periodontal abscess formation. Nothing to be panic, Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
