Common Questions and Answers about Lump on upper gum
lump
On the gum in between two of my teeth on my upper left middle set is a small (1 or 2 mm) painless white lump. To add to that the whole "piece" of gum that is between my two teeth looks and feels swollen. It almost looks as if i had had cut right where my gums go down between these two teeth teeth leaving this little patch of swollen gum.
It doesn't bleed at all, even when vigourously brushing or flossing, nor does it hurt.
I have a hard painful lump on my upper, cheek side, gum. It is about 4 teeth wide and almost all the way up. It doesn't hurt all the time but mostly when I chew. It also has a littler color than the rest of my mouth. I have never really had any problems with my teeth before but once had a filling about 5 years ago. I'm not sure if it is something serious and worth consulting my dentist about.
These can occur both on the upper or lower jaws. On the upper it is usually on the palate and is called a torus palatinus. On the lower they usually occur on the inside of the lower jaw and is called torus mandibularis. These are normal out growths of the bone. There is no treatment necessary for them.
I have a lump on my upper gum for the last month. I had a crown removed three weeks ago. I've taken pencillian twice already. The pain and the lump is still there. When I press on it it hurts a lot. I cannot eat on that side. My Dentist took a couple of x-rays back then and gave me pencillian. Nothing has changed. Recently I notice a dark circle on the upper roof of that side. I touched it and it hurts. It has not grown in size..What to do next?
My son is 7 years old. Since he was a baby there has been a large lump on his upper gum. At first, we thought it was a tooth growing in funny and then we thought it was a bone. As he grew older, the lump grew larger. Come to find out it is called an "odontoma". The dentist said that it is a mass of teeth,tissue,and bone fragments that have clustered together in his gum. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing and will they have to surgically remove it?
s bacterial? I have the same problem, although I only noticed the lump on my gum after having a root canal on tooth #14. The nerves had died though prior to the root canal. It's been two weeks since the root canal and I still have the lump and lingering numbness on the left side of my cheek and lips. After the first root canal procedure I took Cleocin for 5 days.
I've a small hard lump on my gum over a tooth root I feel pressure when I touch it but it doesn't hurt at all what could it be
I have an abscess in a broken tooth on the upper right side, 2nd tooth from the back. I feel a lump on the upper portion of the gum line, near where the jaw connects. My cheek is swollen and I have a bitter taste in my mouth. I am afraid that it has spread into my cheek cavity. How serious is this? What is the worst thing that can happen if I am unable to go to a dentist? I don't have any insurance. Should I go to the emergency room?
However, I keep suffering with severe toothache above one of my crowns which has a lump on right at the top of the gum. I have been given some gum gel to put on and wear a "guard" at night for grinding my teeth. The pain gets unbearable and funnily enough doesnt feel too bad when eating but always afterward. I have just a couple of months ago my dental check up and my gums apart from this one was "great" as I look after my teeth and gums.
I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on what the right-hand-side gum lump could be. 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.

It started to play up and I felt a really hard lump directly underneath it. It is on the gum side closer to the cheek and is under the first layer of skin so you cannot see it only feel it. I went to the dentist and they took a basic tooth X-ray and said the tooth was dead and needed to be pulled to get rid of infection.
So I took 15 days worrh if amoxicillin and a further 5 days of kefelex to try and get rid of infection before the extraction. However the solid lump remained place.
Well now I have a painless lump on the outside gum right below that tooth. It seems to have appeared over night. I thought I felt food in there and noticed it. It feels like a blister but doesn't hurt at all. Is this something I can wait a few days and see if it goes away, I just discovered it. Is this likely an abscess from the infection since its by the same tooth?
For at least a decade or so I have had this small lump on my upper lip that came about after I got elbowed in the face playing basketball. 10 years later the small lump is still there and I have tried picking at it which has helped a little bit but its probably not the best idea. Someone told me that one way to get rid of it would be some kind surgery and that what I had was scar tissue. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. I'll post a pic so you can see what I am talking about.
