Question by Sean: A small bump at the bottom of my mouth?
Ok, I had a filling in July. 2009. IT was a filling between the two teeth. The right canine been hurting slghtly since, but it got better little by little. Than, the hypochondriac in me felt it getting a LOT better, played with it and played with it, and then, around Feb. 20th, 2010….
I think I had an abscess, not sure, it popped, pain was gone. (Also, when it popped I didnt get that foul smell or disgusting taste, which is why im confused what it was) It is a bottom tooth, the right canine. The problem is I have a small bump on my bottom gums (put your finger on the right canine, now go down. after you touch the pink gums, go to the reddish part. The bump is at the bottom (you can also have your tongue touch it, and go all the way as far down in your mouth as you can. That is where it is)

The bump started….around the size of a grape. Now it is about the size of if you combine 3 pieces of corn back to back *MAYBE slightly bigger, but NOT much* So it has atleast been getting smaller, it defintely isnt getting bigger, which I read is a good thing.

Also, the tooth doesnt hurt that much at all. If I tap it the bottom of the tooth, barely no pain at all. I tap the top of the tooth, small pain but not much. Biting down doesnt hurt much either, I can eat foods on that tooth if I have too. I try not too just to see if it will heal.

So now is where I am at. I know most people will suggest root canal, but I really dont wanna just go right to a root canal if the tooth doesnt hurt badly. I just wanna try to take some natural methods before I just see a dentist and have a root canal. Also, I dont have the fiances for a root canal, and I really don’t wanna pull my right bottom canine. So im kind of stuck in limbo here. Ive been taking Cod Liver Oil and Fish Oil, which, like I said, have made it get a little smaller, and my gums look a lot better now too.

If anyone can help me out, besides the “see a dentist” answer, that be awesome. I just do not have the fiances to see a dentist right now. 1600 for a RC and crown, I do not have that kind of cash. So, anyone know what home remedies I can do to make this bump go away? Any advice would be awesome, I tried to be descriptive as possible.

Lastly, if the only advice is a RC, I really do not wanna go that route. (Ive read that is a last resort.)
I wanna see if I can make this go down naturally first, rather than go through a drastic dental procedure. One last thing, if the bump isn’t getting bigger, and is getting smaller, that has to be good thing, right? Maybe Im just being impatient and need more time to see if it will heal? Im not sure, which is why I am here!

Well, thanks for reading and if anyone can help this me out, I would appreciate it greatly!
*I also just called in amoxcillian to see if that will help.*
Thanks for all the help! Also Paula, did the bump in your mouth hurt, get smaller, did it annoy you for four year!? I know one day I need a dentist, but this has only been going on for a month at the most.
Once again, thanks for all the help and any other natural suggestions I can do to get this bump down, please let me know?

A pleasant smile is one of the most common attributing factors towards an attractive personality, and a positive first impression. In today’s competitive environment, a pleasant smile can help you immensely in progressing both professionally and personally.

There are various teeth anomalies that can cause an otherwise attractive & pleasant face to start looking unattractive.  We will try and discuss in a series of articles, the common complications & possible treatments with which your Cosmetic Dentist can work his/her magic, to help you achieve the benefits of a pleasant and attractive smile.

Spacing (Diastema) Between Teeth

Too large a jaw size, or unusually small teeth, can lead to conspicuous gaps between your teeth. In addition to spoiling your smile, these spaces can also lead to food particle accumulation which in turn leads to the decay of teeth & gums as well as a host of complex dental problems.  Your Cosmetic Dentist can present you with various treatment options available in dentistry today, to help you avoid these serious dental problems. We will attempt to discuss here in brief the various treatment options available & their consequent merits and demerits.

1. Orthodontic  Correction: In this case, a specialist dentist called an Orthodontist places brackets (braces) on your teeth using a wire that is tightened on a regular basis leading to a gradual closure of the gap between the teeth. There are various types of braces available, and your Orthodontist will be happy to discuss your options.

MERITS: Reducing the size of teeth through grinding is not required

DEMERITS:

-    A long treatment plan. The duration may range from 1 to 1.5 years.
-    After removal of the braces, you will also need to wear a retainer for another six months to a year.
-    Brackets placed on your teeth can take some time getting used to, and may make eating food a little awkward & uncomfortable.
-    Improper application of force through wire can lead to severe root & bone resorption of teeth.
-    A gap between the teeth may again re-appear (relapse) if treatment is not continued for the required duration.

2. Ceramic Crowns:  Crowns/Ceramic coverings are fabricated through computer aided design (CAD) technology in a high-quality dental lab using metal free and highly durable materials such as Zirconium/Cercon®.  Your Cosmetic Dentist measures the exact size & positioning of the crown required in order to achieve full coverage of the gaps between your teeth and prepares an impression/mould that is sent to the dental prosthesis lab for fabrication.

MERITS:

-    Relatively quick  treatment usually completing over a period of 7-10 days
-    Permanent effect
-    Looks very  natural
-    Dentist can even enhance the shape of the tooth at the same time and can also give you a whiter set of teeth.
-    The ceramic used for making the crowns, is an extremely inert  material that has no reaction with the rest of the body unlike metal based Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) crowns
-    Ceramic crowns normally carry a warranty between 5 to 10 years.

DEMERITS:

-     Grinding of teeth is required.  Up to 1.5 to 2 mm of the tooth base/surface is removed so as to     accommodate the size of the crown so that it does not protrude, and looks in-line with the rest     of your natural teeth.
-     A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) may also be required before placing the ceramic crowns in case     some infection is found in the teeth that are going to be worked upon. This helps increase the life     of the crowns.

3. Ceramic Veneers/ Porcelain Laminates: Veneers are  the most advanced solution available in dentistry today for treating Diastema.  Just as with All Ceramic Crowns, Veneers are also made of ceramic, however unlike a full crown, they cover only the front and sides of the teeth. Only a trained, certified, and experienced Cosmetic dentist should be consulted for this type of advanced treatment.

MERITS:

-    Most conservative form of treatment available for reducing gaps between teeth
-    Least amount of grinding of teeth is required (just 0.5mm as opposed to All Ceramic Crowns 1.5mm to 2mm).  
-    Another advantage is that just the front of the tooth is grinded as opposed to all around grinding required before placing an All Ceramic Crown.
-    Normally a painless procedure, so even a local anesthesia is usually not required while placing veneers
-    Properly placed high quality Veneers can last for a very long time and normally come with a 5 year warranty
-    The Cosmetic Dentist can also enhance the shade of the teeth making them permanently whiter
-    No resorption of teeth occurs
-    Fast treatment normally over in just 7 to 10 days

DEMERITS

-    Only real demerit of this treatment option is the grinding of the front tooth surface to absorb the thickness of the ceramic laminate (0.5mm).
-    Case selection is critical for the success of Veneers – severe malocclusion (misalignment of teeth), a traumatic bite, as well as night grinding of teeth can lead to the failure of Veneers.

4. Composite Cements: Dental composites are tooth colored dental cements used to change the shape/size of teeth. This is completely an in-office single-sitting procedure where the Cosmetic Dentist adds composite cement to match your teeth color and fill the gaps between them.

MERITS:

-    Cheapest option amongst all
-    Requires the least amount of time.  Commonly done in a single sitting

DEMERITS:

-    Inferior strength in comparison with Veneers or All-Ceramic Crowns
-    Unlike Ceramic Crowns & Veneers, shade of the composite cement can be affected by food, drink, as well as smoking
-    Requires intermittent polishing to remove stains
