100% Painful red bumps on SIDE of tongue (10/13/2008 05:10PM)

Enlargement of these finger-like projections usually is the result of trauma, either through

biting the tongue,

reactant foods (acid or spicy),

or subconscious habits such as pushing your tongue against the teeth.

Other causes of pain and swelling of the papilla may be the result of dry mouth (xerostomia) that can be caused by some medications, or diseases...

100% Question about salty saliva (03/08/2007 03:59PM)

My saliva tastes like salt and alters the taste of food.
This certainly could represent the taste component of a relatively common condition known as burning mouth syndrome. With a taste phantom, the nerves that transmit information about taste are sending signals back to the brain that something salty is in the mouth, when in fact, there is no salt in the mouth at all.

100% Severe pain on gums pulled tooth/root canal (02/01/2008 02:31PM)

Atypical facial pain is often a "neuropathic" (or "nerve dysfunction") type of pain. The Lyrica may be titrated up to effect and tramadol (aka Ultram) may help with breakthrough pain. If pain persists, you may benefit from seeing a pain medicine specialist.

100% Root canal (01/16/2007 11:26AM)

However, if a root canal is failing there are usually three options:

a retreatment

a root canal surgery

or an extraction with options for replacing the lost tooth.

As far as bone loss goes, the periodontist is probably not referring to generalized bone loss throughout the body such as osteoporosis.

I would recommend continuing care with your periodontist to treat any periodontal conditions and an evaluation with ...

100% Failed root canals? (07/02/2007 02:59PM)

I saw an oral surgeon who said I needed the apio, which I had in late February due to the failed root canal. During this time, my wife also developed two "pimples" over her root canals and in late March she had to have apio. The number of potential problems are very numerous and range from missed (untreated canals), under-prepared root canals, leaking restorations, cracked teeth, or even gum disease.

100% Small laceration gumline after root canal (02/28/2006 11:32AM)

Two weeks ago I had root canal #27. Toward end of procedure, severe burning on right side of jaw. (My jaw extremely swollen after first procedure) Dentist tried to finish up root canal, butI experienced severe pain. Resked for March 8. Laceration slow to heal but have pain when pressure is applied directly below tooth ie.

100% Another root canal? (01/03/2006 12:05PM)

About 4 years I had an infection in my tooth and had to have a root canal done on it. I have had so many issues with this tooth including the fact that it has a fake enamel (my tooth grew in with no enamel). If the root is fractured or the periodontal disease is severe - you may end up losing the tooth.

100% Returning infection (07/12/2005 09:44AM)

What causes a returning infection in the same place on the gum after you have had a root canal? In this case, the root canal may need to be redone or a special type of surgery may be required to remove the infection and the end of the root where the infection may be residing. A fractured root cannot usually be repaired and the tooth or the specific root may have to be removed.

100% Gum pains (04/10/2007 03:57PM)

For example, it started hurting 2 days ago and probably tomorrow, It would stop hurting.

A thorough "new patient exam" should include full mouth X-rays and assessment of your teeth and supporting structures (periodontal probing and assessment). The schedule of procedures depends upon the dentist's assessment of your condition and may involve temporary repair of broken or decayed teeth prior to cleaning.
