Someone here a dental student or actual DDS? Blister on tooth question.?

I have what looks like a blister near my tooth. My tooth broke a few months ago but I have not had the money to go and get it looked at. There is something that resembles a blister. Anyway. I accidentally rubbed it with another tooth and it started bleeding? I have a gause pad on it for now to stop the bleeding. Is this a blister? Or is it just irritated from the broken part of the tooth rubbing against the gum?

Please answer ASAP. Thank you!

You have given a perfect description of an abscess that has found its way to the surface. You need to see a dentist to take care of this.


its a puss filled pocket, i fought with one for ages and finally got the tooth pulled. its called an abcess
You should definitely get that looked at- an abscess can lead to an infection that can kill you if it gets in your bloodstream.
It is probably an abcess. If the tooth broke and now this came up, you probably need a rootcanal or to extract the tooth. You need to get on some antibiotics soon.
Dr Sam and Huskymom are CORRECT!
You need to get the tooth Xrayed. A blister at the gum line could actually be an abscess. Your tooth may be infected and in need of a root canal. If you put it off too long, and you need a root canal, you are risking undergoing serious consequences. The root canal isn't painful, but the sleepless nights with a painful throbbing tooth is. Get it checked out, better to be safe than sorry. Go to a clinic, they can set up a payment plan or something for you. Good luck.
