Tongue Pimples
Is is something that a dentist can fix??
My daughter has a loose tooth, and it enables her ability to eat certain things because it hurts.. It's not loose enough to pull yet on her own. She has been running a fever, and at one time it actually got up to 104. I took her to the doctor, and he said he couldn't find anything. She showed me where the loose tooth is, on her lip, top and bottom, there are ulcers.she is now beginning to get small white bumps (lie bumps) on the end of her tongue around where the tooth is. She has an infectious smell in her mouth. I am making her an appointment to have the tooth pulled tomorrow, but I want to know if anyone thinks that this will fix the problem. Are there any dentists out here?? Let me clear up some of the confusion, because it seems as if some people think I have neglected my daughter.. Let me rephrase that I took her to the doctor because of the fever that she was running.. no one was aware at the time that her mouth was doing what it was doing. shehad complained of a sore throat and was tested for strep, which came back negative. she said that she felt like her normal self, except that she had a fever. we are now aware of the problem, and she has an appointment tomorrow. thank you

- Yes, a dentist can fix this. This happened to my son. The dentist can pull the tooth and prescribe antibiotics for the infection.
- Did you really let your daughter get to this point? Take her to a dentist immediately. Or a doctor of oral medicine, or an oral surgeon. Anyone who might know what it is. I can't believe the doctor you went you didn't tell you to do this. Do it now.
- The problem is the infection. Your daughter needs to be prescribed antibiotics which I hope your doctor did to get rid of the infection. Pulling out the tooth will probably help prevent any infection from reoccurring but will not get rid of the infection. If the infection isn't going away, I would get another opinion from another doctor, or maybe get your doctor to refer you to a ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist) to find out the source of these ulcers and little white bumps on the tip of her tongue.
- wow! By all means see the dentist ASAP go as a walk in even! And tell the dentist wat the doc said and the meds he prescribed. Did the doc know of ur daughters mouth? If i were u i would get a new doc, seriously ! Maybe in the mean time ur daughter should rinse her rmouth with warm salt water or listeine and avoid sugary foods, like candy and soda.... . Yes, i think a certified dentsit can fix this!
- Firstly, if it's anything to do with your mouth, never go to a doctor 'cause they haven't a clue. Go straight to the dentist. Secondly, get a tongue scraper and scrape her tongue (NOT the white bumps) and this *should* get rid of some of the smell. Mouthwash can help too but it might be painful Thirdly, I wish you good luck =D
