White Substance coming up from under tooth when pushed...no pain, no swelling. W!


Question: White Substance coming up from under tooth when pushed...no pain, no swelling. What's going on?
So I brush twice a day, floss once and rinse with Listerine. Under my bottom canine and the tooth next to it, the gum seems to have receded a little bit, and when I push on my gum, a little bit of white substance comes up. I'm not sure if this is normal bacteria or pus, but it doesn't hurt at all, there's no swelling and my tooth isn't loose.

Like I said before, I take care of my teeth, and I don't have dental insurance so that's out of the question at the moment, so I'm not sure what to do! Any ideas??

well since you mentioned a receding gum line, this calls for a little worry. you could have a chronic gum infection. watch it for a few days. if no improvement. you have no choice but to see a dentist. cause you may need an xray of the area to tell what may be going on.
it may be a pocket.
good luck

Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.

Individual & Family Health Plans
This is a major health insurance plan for individuals and families. If you are looking for comprehensive long term health insurance coverage for yourself and/or your family members who are 62 years old or younger - this is the plan to choose.

Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you're no longer covered under your parents' medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you're employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you've found a new job, but your new employer's group health insurance plan won't kick in until you've been with months.
