Hi, I have had a painful tooth for a while one of my back teeth has split in half and every so often I have pain. I have noticed today I have red bright spots on the inside gum above the tooth that hurts about 5/6 spots. And tooth hurts a lot more. What could the spots be? Thanks saff
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have toothache and spot on gum, painful tooth can be due to Carious due to which there is Periapical abscess or painful tooth can be due to Periodontal abscess, spot on gum can be due to sinus formation So do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Consult dentist for oral examination, and treatment, If required go for Root canal treatment and oral prophylaxis Hope this will help you.  Wishing you good health
