If you get a blister on the gums above a molar, is a root canal necessary? Hot or cold does not bother it.??
Question: The blister breaks and fluid comes out, then later on it will fill up again. It hurts a little but the tooth doesn't bother me at all.
Answers: You need to go to the dentist and have it looked at. I could be an abscess from the tooth or it could be from the gums and be a periodontal abscess. So you may not need root canal, but only a dentist will be able to tell you after having a look and probably taking some x-rays.
I wouldn't wait for it to hurt. Go ahead and call a dental office and have them take a look at it. Just because it doesn't hurt to hot or cold, doesn't mean that there is something wrong with it.
yllwfav is incorrect in saying that if the tooth has an infection that it needs to be removed. If the tooth does indeed have an abcess than usually you can have a root canal done to save it. Root canals are very easy to have done. The worst part is that they are VERY boring. Good luck!!
It depends. First of all It sounds like it is abcessed. If the abcess is from the tooth, traveled down to the tip of the root canal and is now going through the bone and causing infection in the gums.
Did the tooth hurt alot at one time? If it did it is bc the pressure was building up behind the bone and when the pressure was released through the bone(how you got the blister) now you do not feel pain.
As far as not being sensitive to hot and cold, this is bc the infection already killed the nerve in the tooth. The tooth is dead. You can still get a root canal or get the tooth pulled. But you have to do one or the other or the infection can keep spreading.
Well it sounds like the tooth is abscessed and that blister is actually a pustule(infection). You will probably need to get the tooth removed...........you need to go to the dentist....also to, the tooth that has the blister above it may not be the source of the infection, the infection can travel, so it may be a couple of teeth down that actually is abscessed..........go to the dentist
