I am 66 with good dental health. I have had a small white lump on the inside of my gum, behind lower front tooth. It doesn t hurt and has been there at least 2 years. My dentist said it was a bony growth and not to worry about it; but it s bothersome because my tongue constantly touches it. Any suggestion?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The lump on the gums can be an exocytosis or Tori or Osceola. These are all inflammatory hyperplasia and are benign in nature. Nothing to be panic, these will not trouble you and does not require any treatment. Since you are telling you have problem with it and the lumps are interfering with your tongue movements, You can get it surgically excised or get an osteotomy done under local anesthesia. But this can reoccur. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
