Hi,
I have a medium sized white bump on my lower gum on the right side. no pain. just discomfort. but, I can't chew on that side of my mouth much at all. I have had trauma to my mouth and a lot of dental work. but, I haven't been to the dentist in quite some time. what do you think it could be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain a white bump over the gum that causes discomfort can be due to a few causes like :
1. It can be a dental abscess in case if it is under the tooth that is decayed and the infection is reaching below the root tips of the tooth leading to formation of a us filled abscess.
2. It can be a gum boil that can be due to trauma to the gums leading to impaction of food particles or foreign body under the gums leading to infection and boil formation..
3. In case if there is generalized gum infection, it can be a gum abscess or a periodontal abscess..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and treatment can be planned according to the cause..
In case of gum abscess or gum boil or periodontal abscess, deep scaling of gums followed by antibiotics and painkillers and gum paint application can help..
In case of dental abscess root canal treatment or extraction depending upon condition of tooth will relieve..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
