[|Human|] I have had a tooth infection for about 2 years now caused a chipped tooth which I know now that the inside has decayed and died, hence the reason I have had no pain for about a year. I have not gone to the dentist since when the pain stopped a year ago. He took an X-Ray, told me what I knew, and said it had to be extracted. however he also added that another tooth that was leaning on this one (located on bottom right jaw but not the wisdom tooth) had to also be removed. He refused to remove just the infected one so I left it untreated because I am a student and do not have health insurance. I have had two abscesses that I have treated with antibiotics and that got rid of them. Now, my current problem is this: I now have another growth on the outside of my gum, adjacent to the infected tooth. This one is not puss filled and is hard and if I push on it, it causes minor discomfort to the tooth. It is growing under the gun, not on it. I have now been prompted to go see another dentist because I have found no answers online. I am just curious as to what this could be.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The signs and symptoms you have mentioned in the query suggests an abscess in relation to the infected tooth, though they may differ in variation from the previous time. Once left without treated, it may lead to pain and spread of infection to the adjacent tissues. I would advise you to visit the dentist at the earliest and get a radiograph redone. If extraction is advised, go ahead with it. Antibiotics amoxicillin 500 mg and metro lag on prescription may be needed. Do salt water gargling. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
