I have a hard lump on my bottom gum underneath where a tooth had broken previsouly. Tonight above this hard mass was a abscess that I did remove and excreted fluid from. The large lump is stationary and will not move. May I add this lump is on the outside of the gum close to the cheek. I thought it was additional abscess and try to penetrate it when I relieved the surface absces but it would not move....any anwsers on what this dime size lump is??
Hellooo...read through your query...accordingly I must say that it is a periapical abscess spread to the vestibule...(of broken tooth).so in my opinion u have to go to dentist and get an.X-ray.depending on that if it can be saved can undergo root canal treatment or if you cannot be saved get it extracted and take antibiotics.and after healing can go for fixed or removable partial denture...nothing to worry.meet the dentist...in the meantime u can do salt water gargle twice daily...amoxicillin and metronidazole antibiotics as prescribed by your dentist...hope your benefitted something by this reply...have a healthy day!!!
