<human>: I had a crown put in back in january. ever since, I have been getting a blister on the outside of my gums just under the crowned tooth. they only last for a few days and pain comes in. The blister pops and the pain goes away until the blister comes back a week or two later. This time however, it has been more painful over the weekend than normal. I am going to call the dentist on Monday, but was wondering if there are some possible thoughts on this issue.Thanks, Robert
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your clinical history I suspect that there can be abscess formation due to food lodgment between the tooth and the crown. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done take the x-ray done, go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing curettage. Apply metro oral ointment topically over the affected area. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out. Regards...
