I had a tooth abcess back in September.  I took antibiotics but never had further treatment on my tooth.  I still have a hard lump at the base of the tooth on the gum.  Is it still abcessed or is this something like scar tissue that built up in the same spot?
Hello thank you for your question at Chat Doctor In this condition I would suggest my patient to have x-ray of the region. So that I can have better idea what exactly it is. At the same time I would like to know more that is that hard mass paining you now ? Second do you see any bleeding or pus discharge from it at any times. And best option will be consulted a nearby dentist so that he can see the condition clinically and give better idea. You can ask for further solution of confusion or advice. Thank you.
