Does bleeding and soreness around a cavitiy a sign of infection?

O.k I have a really bad cavitity that lately has been bugging me.Just a few days ago I could taste blood coming out of the gum around the tooth and it’s really sore and when my mom tried to tap it(lightly) and I screamed..I didn’t mean to it just hurt!But my mom won’t take me to the dentist cause…I don’t know why she just won’t….thank you =)

Answer #1

You need to see a dentist asap. A cavity is your tooth rotting, if its not taken care of it becomes an abcess infection and is very very painful and it will swell up your face as well.

Answer #2

Thanks =)

Answer #3

Okay.Your mom needs to take you to the dentist.The pain will get worse if she doesn’t.Its also child neglect if she doesn’t .That is probably an abcess which will get very worse.For now try some ibruprophen.If your mom doesn’t take care of the situation the infection could spread.Dial 00 on the phone and ask for social services from the state you live in.

Answer #4

No she just keeps forgetting that’s all….I’ll remind her again to make sure she plans an appointment real soon but thank you! =)

Answer #5
