Can redness in the gums near decayed teeth indicate cancer?

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. I have not been to the dentist in the last seven years. I have three decayed teeth in my mouth. Right above one of them on the outside of my gum a little red patch popped up and then it started to decay. On the other side, that is, on the inside of the gum right above my tooth a red spot popped up with a white border. I am very scared, and I am terrified of cancer. Please help.

How can severe pain and bad taste after wisdom tooth removal be cured?

Hello doctor,

I am 29 years old. I got five teeth extracted, three of them being impacted wisdom teeth, before a week. My jaw is killing me. I have this nasty taste in my mouth. My holes look fine with blood clot present. What could be wrong? I cannot keep taking Ibuprofen and Tylenol, it is making me sick. I am just honestly in pain, I cannot eat. It is really bad. Please help. I do salt water rinses and I brush my teeth and the reason I can eat is food gets stuck in the holes and I hate getting it out, it hurts really bad. How many more days will this be like this?
