Suggest Cure For A Lump In The Palate

I have a bump on the right back side of the roof of my mouth. It is right next to the tooth that is farther back. It has pain when I brush my tongue over it. Also giving me a slight headache and earache. I just recently went to to dentist for a cleaning and they said my wisdom teeth were not even showing so what could this be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump can be because of the infection from the gums leading to periodontal abscess formation or it can be because of the tooth infection resulting in formation of periapical abscess. The other possible cause can be a exostosis or tori.
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If i am your treating doctor, Meanwhile i would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
Later, you can your teeth cleaned if it is because of gum infection. If it is tooth infection, tooth can be treated with RCT or extraction. If it is a tori or exostosis, it can e surgically treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have lump in palate and your dentist means lump might be due to impaction of wisdom tooth that is why wisdom tooth is not showing causing swelling and earache , headache .
Dont worry I will suggest you to consult dentist and go iopa xray of tooth and lump of palate amd if it is due to wisdom tooth extraction than go for removal of tooth.
In meantime do warm saline rinses , you can take medicine like Amoxicillin and analgesic like Keterol dt .

Hope this will help you.
