Hi can a dentist on here tell me what are symptoms I would need a root canal?
I had a nasty abscess a few years ago. The molar was super sensitive a few weeks before it showed up. I ask because I can't tell if this swollen gum is gingivitis or an abscess. It's near my bottom tooth. No pain at all. I have an appointment next month (no sooner avaibility) the gum is lighter there and that's what bothers me. Everywhere else is the normal gum color (minus my red swollen gums) it doesn't look like puss but what do I know. It doesn't look like the abscess I had before either, that one was quite large and red. I'm just a very anxious mess over this.
