<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have a very dark red bump between my 1st and 2nd molar on my gums. It doesn t go between my teeth , just in front. I had it checked out a month or so ago and my dentist said he can t find anything in the x-ray taken 3 different times so it s just something in my gums, nothing to do with a root or anything. Blood often comes out when I brush. Can you help me?  <response>: Hi, dark red bump between 1st 2nd molar which bleeds after brushing is more likely a Granuloma. As dentist couldnt find any pathology in x-ray which is taken three times then involvement of periodontics is not the issue. Yes, Granuloma has to be treated by excision that excisional biopsy should be sent for examination. Unless it excised, avoid forceful brushing as granuloma tend to bleed even on slight touch. Severity of bleed depends on the size condition of granuloma. Also get your teeth cleaned by dentist scaling to avoid secondary infections. Take care.
