Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / September 2005what is causing this pain?
Hi i am having some vague feeling or mild pain which i think is at the gumline in some areas and i dont know what it is. I have been to a mouth hygienst she cleaned my teeth and said i have some light gingivitus and minor bleeding occured while cleaning interdental plaque She investigated the area i reported the pain and said it looked allright, also no cavities showing on xray. There are some fillings in the area. problem gets worse when smoking (quit since a month) problem gets worse when i have a cold, (which i have all the time) feeling goes away when using chewing gum feeling goes away after eating no diseases, fairly healthy minor stress (new job) condition has been present for 8 months Any idea what this might be, my dentist and hygienist dont have a clue? >Hi i am having some vague feeling or mild pain which i think is at the >gumline in some areas and i dont know what it is. >I have been to a mouth hygienst she cleaned my teeth and said i have some >light gingivitus and minor bleeding occured while cleaning interdental >plaque Massage the gums with your fingertip ....... LOTS! >She investigated the area i reported the pain and said it looked allright, >also no cavities showing on xray. There are some fillings in the area. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >feeling goes away after eating >no diseases, fairly healthy I would try to get the regular mouth dentist to check the teeth instead of the mouth hygienist. Some of the Mouth Hygienists think they are the mouth dentist's boss, but this is generally not true! If the mouth dentist is in the back typing at sci.med.dentistry, go back there and yank him out front. Joel >minor stress (new job) >condition has been present for 8 months > >Any idea what this might be, my dentist and hygienist dont have a clue? Now this is funny! A mouth hygienist. Someone else called them pumice queens - I forget who, though. Like Chriopractors, who think every ailment can be cured through the back, hygienists (some) think that holy pumice can cure all dental problems! I'm not a dentist, but it might have something to do with saliva flow. If your dentist can't see anything wrong, try sucking sugar-free sweets and see if that helps. > problem gets worse when smoking (quit since a month) > problem gets worse when i have a cold, (which i have all the time) > feeling goes away when using chewing gum > feeling goes away after eating You also want to avoid "mouth non dentists" sometimes they get some uncany ideas about saliva causing pain. LOL. > You also want to avoid "mouth non dentists" sometimes they get some > uncany ideas about saliva causing pain. > > LOL. About *lack* of saliva causing mild discomfort. Incidentally, that was the only common denominator I could see in the descriptions of what makes symptoms worse and what alleviates them. Unless you can come up with something better? I am sorry you're peeved off, but one of my moderators deleted your posts before I even got to see them. According to them, it was pretty vile stuff, but not having seen it, I can't comment. Personally, I probably would've simply moved it to the "discussion" area. It would appear that it wasn't "support" material. > You also want to avoid "mouth non dentists" sometimes they get some > uncany ideas about saliva causing pain. No, I always use the cane ;-). >> You also want to avoid "mouth non dentists" sometimes they get some >> uncany ideas about saliva causing pain. > >No, I always use the cane ;-). ITYM caine, as in mutiny... -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >Hi i am having some vague feeling or mild pain which i think is at the >gumline in some areas and i dont know what it is.

Get it checked again with this in mind. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com |
