Can you please tell me why it is bad to have white spots (2) on the outside of the gum's , this time on the other side of where extractions where? They don't hurt however they were not there before and wondering what the deal is with them,
thanks,

ouch

Hi ouch,

White spots on the gum can be many things. You didn't give a description of what they look like. Are they hard like bone? Do they resemble a pimple? Are they white in the center and red on the borders?

Thanks so much for reply
 

You are so good.

Anyways there are 2-3 white , more boney i would say. I noticed when i was brushing , they were not there a month ago, yet when you said boney that is what comes to mind.

thanks for taking time.

Hi ouch,

Perhaps they were there and you never really noticed them? Bone does not just appear in the mouth within a months time. If you are concerned about what they are and they seem odd to you, then a visit to your dentist may be a good idea.

Sorry I could not be more specific :-(

Thanks for info. I will make appt to have them looked at and i also am ready to have bridge work started from extractions. I tell ya these teeth are so expensive to top it all off. Oh what fun.
I really appreciate being able to run things past you.
Thanks again,
