I have a hard lump in my upper gum, anybody has an idea what it can be? no pain, size of two peas. I have seen three doctors and don't know what it can be. Waiting for a fourth visit. Help!!!

Abscesses of the cheek teeth, present as lumps on the lower or upper jaw are more complicated diseases to treat. Surgical removal of the abscess as a whole is required. The abscess capsule needs to be removed as well. Once the abscess has been removed, the inciting tooth needs to be extracted, even if it is still firmly attached. Ideally the wound should be left open and filled with antibiotics.

I just noticed that I have a hard lump in my gum just above my upper right incisor. Is this something I should worry about? It doesn't hurt, but it is scaring me pretty good.

This made me feel a lot better until I noticed a number of clusters of small white lumps on my upper gums, they're not very white, more the same color as the surrounding area, but they seem to cover the area above one tooth and there is a single on in the middle gum between the two upper front teeth. Is this something to worry about.

I have a little lump on my upper left gum behind my molar but further back than I imagine my wisdom tooth would be. It is painless and I am unable to move it with my tongue but if if push it with my finger it moves slightly with a little click. I have made an appointment to see the dentist but was worried so thought I'd ask your advise. You can not see the lump just feel it.

I have a bump/lump in my gums above the upper teeth, it is a little sore, what can I do

Hi there, thanks for any answers to my question. 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.

can't fully brush or even open my mouth because that will pull the stitches which could rip the gum tissue. So please, you have a lump? get it looked at and get it fixed. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

i have a hard slightly painful lump in my upper gum under my cheek bone im not to sure how long its been there for but it is worrying me.

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?

I have found a small (about 3 mm) fleshy white-pink lesion where the cheek tissue meets my gums on the upper right side. The area feels slightly raised when i touch it with my tongue. I found it after looking because I started having pain there, I'm pretty sure the pain started suddenly about a few days ago. The pain is confined only to the surface and there are no other symptoms. Does this sound typical of a cancerous lesion? Should I relax for a week to see if it goes away?

Hi, I noticed a led lump growing out of my dogs gum next to her upper canine, it doesn't seem painful to touch and isn't effecting her appetite in any way. Any ideas as to what this could be?

I have noticed a small cluster of discolored white bumps (the size of small dots) on my upper gum above my canine or lateral incisor. It is generally painless and doesn't seem to grow in size since i've noticed it a couple months ago. Recently, i have been brushing over it. The white spots remain and nothing really happens to physical appearance of the spots when I brush over it. However, the brushing leads to a very odd sensation like a tingling and a slightly frigid feeling.

During this time, when I swallowed, I could feel a significant 'lump in my throat' and felt that something was in my upper airway. This lasted for several weeks. I went to urgent care, they listened to me breathe, and said that they couldn't hear anything wrong. The doctor basically said she thought I swallowed the gum instead of inhaling it, which was extremely frustrating to me. I requested to see a pulmonologist, and she said she had no basis to refer me to one.

For the last several months, I have had reoccurring lumps of sorts on my gums. They started about a day after my last dental visit, where I had x-rays and all of the other usual dentist checkup-y things done and they didn't find any abscesses or any signs of oral cancer, or anything wrong except for some cavities that needed to be filled and early signs of gum disease due to poor dental care when I was younger and lack of checkups for a year or two.

i have a lump on my upper right side just below my shoulder ,i have had this lump now for 2 months and it is not getting any smaller.please could you give me a diagnosis.

Another week has gone by, they put me on antibiotics and weak pain relievers. The pain is not as sever but now I am noticing a liquid filled lump where the gum is swollen between the two back molars on the outside of the lower gum. Have you ever seen this? What is it? What is the cause and what is the cure? Thank you so much for your help!

i had root canal treatment done on my upper middle large tooth around twenty years ago, from time to time over the years i felt a little lump on my gum, never caused me pain. last sunday i woke up with a severe pain in this tooth, went to dentist on monday, who took an xray and said i had a abscess. he put me antibotics and gave me pain killers also, its now wed and my lips and gums are swollen, the pain has gone down a tiny bit but i still cant sleep with the pain.

That was two weeks ago and i think everything is ok apart from i have noticed a large hard lump on the side of my gum in the fleshy area at the back of my mouth. The lump is sore to the touch or if i knock it with my tooth brush, or if i move my mouth aggresively and it rubs my cheek.

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 have noticed a hard (feels like bone) bump in my upper outside gums - as far up on the gums as possible. Of course I have been constantly touching it, so irritating it. It is relatively painless. I have been to two dentists. One says it's a cold sore or an absess and the if it's an absess the tooth below needs a root canal. I went for a second opionion because it doesn't seem like an absess and the second dentist said definitely not an absess just bone and irritated from my touching it.

I have a hard, bony, round, white colored swelling on my right upper gum above the molar on the inner side. It has been there for almost two years now. I showed it to a dentist as I am a heavy smoker and was worried about cancer but he just disregarded it. That was a year ago. On some days it feels less swollen when I rub my tongue over it, but of late I am feeling a pressure sensation all the way up my right nostril and sometimes above my right eye. What could this possibly be?
