Hi, I Have A Small White Lump To The Base
Question: Hi,
I have a small white lump to the base of my gums on the right side at the bottom.
It has been there for about two weeks. It is just very slightly painful to the touch but not really. I have attached pictures. Does it look suspicious? What could it be?
Thanks,
Regards.

Hi,
In addition to the above, I have touched the lump and it appears hard. Almost like it is bone.
