Lump above my tooth
Common Questions and Answers about Lump above my tooth
lump
s quite painful when pressed on and often burns. My right front tooth (below the lump)is also partially decayed and slightly loose. I know I have gum disease but is this cancer? Let me know what it could be.
I would really appreciate your best guess. I have an HMO and cannot find a dentist in my area that will see me. Please get back to me. Thank you so much for your time.
I'm so glad you took him to the vet! I'd probably just have the tooth pulled so you won't have to worry about it again. No doubt the abscess is pretty painful for your dog too. Very ouchy, tooth abscesses. I've had a couple myself and wonder if I should have just had the stupid things pulled instead of putting myself through root canal, crown and 10 years later the whole works just breaks off anyway. LOL!
We had a dog who lost part of a back tooth.

I woke up with a lump a little above the jaw line. Looks like a tumor, but I don't know if it's from an impacted wisdom tooth and I need an oral surgeon which my insurance won't cover but I'll gladly pay to have it removed or an entomologist. Could it be a swollen gland. The tooth doesn't hurt but I can't bite down on that side without pain in the lump. I'm planning on seeing an oral surgeon, I just don't want unnecessary dental surgery if not needed.
I am thinking that since there is also something on the left-hand-side, that it may be a lymph node that is acting due to the slow falling-apart of the tooth above it, but I am not sure. My attempts to find out information about lymph nodes in the mouth, and more particularly in the gums, produced no success online.
I am not a smoker or drinker. I had a negative brain CT scan done about 6 months ago and some X-rays for dental work at various times prior to that.
Based on what you have described, and on a general basis, when a tooth develops a fistula ( Lump ) it is an infection. If you had a filling, the tooth is susceptible to decay, if the filling is fractured, or just recently started to act up, the tooth doesn't need to be extracted, it can be endoed... or Root Canaled, for it's perseverance. If you cannot afford the root canal, and crown, then you would have to extract it, save up for a bridge or an implant later on.
Just an update. Since my last post, in addition to the small lump on my chin, I had one appear on my cheek and one between my eye and nose. I'm assuming they were acne, since the eye one is gone, the cheek one is near-gone, and the chin one is very small.
The movable lump on my jaw, however, is still there and still painless, still the same size. However, there is also a lump on the other side of my jawbone.
Hi all,
Firstly - thank you for any help with this question I appreciate people taking the time to even read it.
Basically I'm a 25 year old male and recently I had pain in a tooth which made it sore to touch and brush. However, that pain essentially went away and then a white spot appeared above the tooth. I've tried mouthwash and brushing etc. but it hasn't disappeared after 2 weeks. I still get the odd bout of pain but it's very mild and usually I don't notice it.
I have a hard bump above my top right back tooth on gum. My dentist said it wasn't bone/tooth it is gum/soft tissue issue. No pain, abscess, swelling or inflammation. He wants me to see a periodontist, I will. But, I was wondering, ahead of appointment ,what other possibilities than a cancerous tumor? The color isn't any different from the rest of my gums. It is smooth. Can it be just excess hard fibrous tissue growth or something less frightening than cancer? Thank you.
It has been there for a couple of months. It goes from being in my temple and sometimes it is behind my ear. Or anywhere inbetween. It also changes in size and shape. I have had bad headaches for 8yrs now but this is a different kind of headache coming from this and when I press on the knot, it seems to relieve the headache. I talked to my Dr about it and he gave me meds to see if was an infection. After taking them it hasnt changed at all.
1. A lump on the gum almost always means you have an infected tooth, the lump is where the bacteria has pushed out of the bone and is draining. The dentist should take an xray to determine which tooth is the source.
2. Many general dentists do not like to take out wisdom teeth. You will need to find an oral surgeon for those.
Overnight my 13 year old female Great Pyrenees developed a large lump on the side of her face. It has almost caused her eye to swell shut. I am not seeing any noticeable different discharge from her eye. She seems to get relief from me rubbing it. Thinking it may be a tooth infection, however she shows no sign of any discomfort when eating. She also has a large lump on her left side above her leg which I have just assumed was a cyst.
s not the tooth that hurts, but the gum right above the tooth in the front. I especially feel it when I touch it in a certain spot. Now I also see the fistula coming back above that. Dr. Said pain is normal. I've had about six other root canals with no pain, and I understand that the #8 is one of the easier root canals to do. Also, when he injected the novacaine, it got a big lump in the injection sight,where he told me to "just massage it", right before the procedure.
About a few months ago I noticed a hard lump that was noticeable by touch below the skin of my pubic hair, above the penis. I left it alone because it didn't hurt and cause discomfort but today it started bleeding and something like a mixture of blood and water followed. Today a lot of blood came out and it is noticeably swollen red through sight and soft to the touch, and pain is experienced only if a large amount of pressure is applied directly on it.
Day 4, my tooth was extremely sore and I noticed my face was sore and I had a bump that was extremely sensitive far above my tooth by my cheek bone. Day 5, symptoms got worse, more radiating pain. Day 6, back to the dentist, he drilled on my tooth looking for an extra canal or crack. Found nothing and put me on Kelflex antibiotic. Excruciating pain. The lump on my jaw bone has gotten larger, my face is a little swollen. Day 7, my face is more swollen, bump larger, tooth still sore.
Suggestions please - I have a lump / bump on either life of my legs above my ankles. I speed skate - the boots are tight and hard. When I don’t skate it is fine - when I do the pressure is sore on the lumps. I haven’t skated for 2 weeks and the bumps are still there. It looks like I have 2 ankle bones. Thanks so much!
s been quite a plague since it came about. My cavity eventually decayed all the way through to the gum and developed a small lump about a year ago, this lump has since grown and developed a small spot of it's own. This tooth produces rather rancid and disgusting salive, has neverending recurring abcesses, and bleeds daily. I'm in a rather horrible situation at this point that's causing daily suffering, but luckily, it is at least numb to pain by this point.
