I have a strange swollen spot behind my right front tooth. I have no idea what causes it, but I get it every so often. It is not painfull, but it is annoying because when I close my mouth, it touches my tongue, and it also impacts my speech alittle. In terms of looks, it can get somewhat big and white, it looks sortof like another tooth that is behind my right front tooth, except it is soft.I need to know what this is and how to grt rid of it.
Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor.firstly did you have recent trauma to the front tooth.it might have caused pulp injury --this in turn secondarily might have resulted in periapical abscess. You need Iowa radiographs to check for extension of infection in terms of alveolar bone loss. It might also be muscle if trams to that region, since you are describing it as soft and painless. It could also be nasopalatine cyst which is usually present in the above-mentioned region or incisive palatine cyst . If your lower teeth constantly hit the back of the upper front tooth. So you need complete general physical examination of the lesion, please consult an oral physician for the check-up and treatment.hope it helps,take care.
