Advice needed for oral issue
Hello all
Since january 2022 i have noticed redness on my maxillary ginviva near left upper molar .
Initially Dentisted noted it as REDNESS SEEN MEDIAL TO TEETH 8 MAXILLARY . Prescribed me some supplimemt e.g. vitamin , antioxidant and calcium . It been almost 4 month the redness still remained there . Area looks slight puffy and part of few millimer below the teeth towards palate side its red .
I had a CBCT in past which shows palatal root bone loss too at the same teeth .
The same teeth causes repeated injury after 3 years of lower wisdom teeth extraction . Last visit to dentist on 11 days ago scheduled as surgical extraction of the teeth as its causing repeared injury to my RMT area . But dentist is not sure about the redness cause . . What advice anyone of you suggest for me

It can be a periapical abcess with palatal root of maxillary 3rd Molar. Better to go for surgical extraction.

According to the picture provided, the redness that you notice on the palate in proximity of the roots of the maxillary left third molar appears to be part of the normal mucosa. however at times, there is variation in colour of musosa from one part to another, not necessarily due to any disorder or condition. If you have been constantly touching the specified area with your tongue or finger after you noticed the redness, that can also contribute to the difference in colour. Please consult a dentist to thoroughly get the area examined for any changes in texture, colour or size or even pain, if it continues to be a problem.
Next Steps
Avoid frictional irritation of the area
