Have A Swelling In The Front Teeth. Slight Color Change. No Oozing. Difficult When Chewing. Cure For Symptoms?
Right behind my front two teeth, directly in the center, I have some swelling thats kind of like a bump. The color of the gum is almost the same except a bit white on the tip of the bump. There's no oozing or anything but it moves a bit when I push on it. My bottom front teeth push against it when I try to eat as well so I havent been able to chew properly for over a week. Its driving me nuts.

hello and welcome to HCM forum,
i would like to inform you that the swelling is either from some sort of trauma while biting on hard food or sometimes soft tissue burns occur from hot foods.
it is not much of a concern, i will advise you to use an oral gel for sores. Apply it half an hour before or after meals, avoid spicy or hot foods until healing happens .
if there is no relief in a weeks time, then kindly see your concerned dentist.
i wish you good health,
i hope i answered your query.
take care.
