I have had a relatively large white painful bump on the gum line of my lower center tooth on my bottom gum. It has been there for 7 weeks and I have tried everything on it to make it better. I have been to the dentist three times and I have been to a Rheumatologist and I have been to an ear nose and throat doctor all of which say it should eventually go away but Im tired of dealing with the pain. it is hard and the hardness goes all the way down the length of the two. Can you possibly tell me what this might be?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have painful bump on lower gum this can be due to carious tooth or due to gingival problem swelling in gingival can be due to deposition of food debris, plaque, calculus resulting in formation of abscess. For this you should consult dentist and go for examination of oral cavity and investigations IOWA x-ray of tooth, if there is Periodontal abscess then go for Oral prophylaxis. In meantime, you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, you can apply ointment Gum paint on gum for temporary relief. Hope it will help you.  Wishing you good health.
