Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Hard lump in the gum can be due to periodontal abscess arrising from the infected tooth, to confirm this an x-ray is required, i would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done, if the adjacent tooth is involved treatment of the tooth is required followed by surgical removal of the lesion.
Other than this it can be a gingival abscess due to accumulation of bacterial plague and calculus deep inside the gum pockets, for this a professional scaling, polishing nad curettage is required.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps out.

Regards....

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,


Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types .

They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess draining in the oral cavity.
lumps are also formed due to bening or malignant swellings of the jaws .

cysts of the jaws , related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling .

parotitis or parorid gland swelling may also form lump behind the upper jaw line.

exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs.

i would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned .
consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
