There are multiple small white bumps on the gums above my front two teeth. They feel slightly rough to my tongue, and I can feel them when I run my fingernail across it. They are the size of periods or pepper grains. Please help as I am worried I have oral cancer because I also have what seems to be an abscess around my back molar. It feels rough and has red around it with white in the middle. I know its not a canker sore..and it has a burning feeling now.
I do not think, this could be cancer .oral cancer unlike to occur over the gingival of anterior tooth unless u had habit of keeping tobacco there. What I fell this could be gingival inflammation may be gingivitis or Chat Doctor. Check whether you're taking any medicine like phenytoin, nifedipine, carbamazepine etc. in that case u might have fibrotic gingival enlargement .some time EVN if run over your finger over the normal gingival the also it will be felt fibrotic hard. So better u go to an oral pathologist take the advice. But I believe simple scaling will serve the purpose.
