<s>[INST] My sister has been complaining of a thick substance coming from her gums.  She has seen several dentist and specialist who stated nothing was wrong with her gums.  She was told to have a saliva test which showed many types of bacteria.  No diagnosis at this time. [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The thick substance coming from the gums could be the pus discharge secondary to the gum infection or a tooth infection. The other possibility can be a thick gingivocrevicular fluid, but it is harmless, it won't trouble you. Consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. Take a radiograph of the teeth to rule out any tooth or gum infection. If there is gum or tooth infection, then it has to be treated with scaling and RCT respectively. Meanwhile, do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>
