Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Lower Front Tooth.

Hi I have a small hard red bump on my lower front tooth and it hurts. I've had it for a while and it's bigger now. My teeth hurt and it hurts to touch my chin. Can u please help. I'm worried it's a tumor or something. I'm only a teenager. Please help
Thank you

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the red bump could be an infection from the tooth resulting in periapical abscess or granuloma or cyst formation. consult a oral physician and take radiographs like IOPAR and rule out the above said pathologies. if it is a tooth infection you can go for RCT Or if it is gum infection get your teeth cleaned. if it is a cyst, the cyst has to be enucleated. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
