Question:
White build up i back of front teeth----READ DETAILS!!!?
ive had braces for like a little over a month now and my two fron bottom teeth have straightened a bit but now all of the sudden one the one on the right i licked it with y tounge and it feels like theres something coming out of the root like some white stuff and its hard....what could it be?????????
Answers:
It could be plaque- be sure to brush the back of your teeth and floss daily.
OR:
If it looks like a little hard bump, it could be a type of cold sore (i get them all the time on my gums near the back of my teeth) and is not contagious or a type of herpes.
Or, it could be a canker sore, often caused by braces. (I got alot of those too when I had braces)
I recommend rinsing with warm salt water 1-3 times a day, and if it doesn't go away in a week, visit your orthodontist-they should be able to treat it. But whatever you do, dont pick at it!! It can irritate it more.
