Hi, I am a 17 year old female. recently had an abscess removed from my buttocks. The next day of I have formed a very small lump on my top gums in the middle of my two front teeth not on either gum line, not on my teeth. I'm really worried what can it possibly be ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lump on the gums. The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a dental abscess . Infection from the cavity spread up to the root tip of teeth and to gums also. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination. Doctor may take X-ray to rule out condition of remaining tooth piece in gum which is causing infection. You should take antimicrobial agent for gargling. Maintain complete oral hygiene. Doctor may clean the gum with hydrogen peroxide and prescribe antibiotic course along with anti inflammatory . For now doe warm saline rinses several times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
