Hi, I noticed about a week ago a small sized lump with slight point to it on my gum line at the bottom of my teeth, cheek side, it is painless unless I jab at it. I have very good teeth aside for a few cavities when I was 10-12 years old. I do tend to get a lot of tartar. Its been a year since Ive had my teeth cleaned though due to a very busy year. Any ideas?
The presence of lump or mass on the gums can be indicative of several conditions. Like a bacterial infection or abscess, can present as a lump on gums. Traumatic injuries and canker sores are some common causes. Sometimes a simple irritation of one particular area can lead to a lump on gums. Make an appointment for your dental visit and just check out reason and follow the treatment and get dental cleaning of your teeth.
