<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.There are multiple small white bumps on the gums above my front two teeth. They feel slightly rough to my tongue, and I can feel them when I run my fingernail across it. They are the size of periods or pepper grains. Please help as I am worried I have oral cancer because I also have what seems to be an abscess around my back molar. It feels rough and has red around it with white in the middle. I know its not a canker sore..and it has a burning feeling now.  <response>: I do not think, this could be cancer .oral cancer unlike to occur over the gingival of anterior tooth unless u had habit of keeping tobacco there. What I fell this could be gingival inflammation may be gingivitis or Chat Doctor. Check whether youre taking any medicine like phenytoin, nifedipine, carbamazepine etc. in that case u might have fibrotic gingival enlargement .some time EVN if run over your finger over the normal gingival the also it will be felt fibrotic hard. So better u go to an oral pathologist take the advice. But I believe simple scaling will serve the purpose.
