There is a spot directly behind my two front teeth at the roof of my mouth that is sore and inflamed. This makes eating uncomfortable and sometimes painful. This happens every once in a long while. Just wondering if there is something I am doing to cause this to happen? Exactly what is happening?
Hello! Thank you for posting here. This can be an abscess opening you see as a spot. This is because of infection. A x-ray of the involved tooth area is necessary. Get clinical examination done with your dentist. Discomfort occurs when orifice is obstructed due to any reason. Take a metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily for 3 days. Use a warm saline gargle thrice daily. This antibiotic course will only reduce the infection. A treatment like curettage is absolutely necessary to completely eliminate infection and prevent recurrence. Hope this helps.
