Hi, I wonder if you can help me. I notice a hard lump on the right side of my lower gums about the size of a large pea, it has been there for about three or four years, it doesnt hurt, lately I notice another little one growing on the other side of my mouth in the same spot as the first one. What could these be? I am extremely worried. Thank you in advance for your help.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Bilateral swelling in your lower jaw could be due to exocytosis, or bony prominence in that area. An intro oral periapical x-ray can help you to differentiate between a hard tissue swelling or soft tissue swelling. Please mention if you are taking any antibiotics?also mention your general health in your history? Meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene and wait for x-ray results to come. Based upon that further diagnosis can be made. Hope it helps. Thanks.
