I have a lump at the top of my gums at the begining of  the month I went to the dentist to see what was causing pain in a tooth they said i had a chiped tooth that would need a root canal and someone was going to give a deep cleaning for an infection that i had they gave me dental floss when I left and said to floss and not worry about if it bleeds it is just draining out I dont have gingavitas or a tumor because they also gave me x-rays but now there is a big lump on the top of my gums on the right side of my mouth I have tried poping it but it is very moist and a hard part to get to in the mouth I used a safty pin and tried a meat knife by just pushing on it to see if it would pop I was wondering if you would know what it is or have any advice to get rid of it
Hello, Cause for lump on gums has to be evaluated and treated. If there is periodontal infection, get a deep scaling as well as curettage done. If there is any deep caries underlying tooth, it has to be root canal treated. Please do visit a dentist and get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done. Complete course of antibiotics-analgesics has to be administered to relieve underlying infection. Meanwhile, maintain oral hygiene well. Take care.
