How Can I Treat The Lump On Roof Of Mouth Developed After Using Brush Too Hard?
After brushing and flossing and using an interdental brush too hard, I have developed a lump on the roof of my mouth directly behind one of my front teeth, how can I treat it? It doesn't appear to be getting any bigger, it is about 5mm in diameter. I have had for three days.

Hello,
As you are mentioning that you have developed the lump on the roof after trauma from brush, there is no need to worry.
As this lump will go off on its own after sometimes.
You just apply a topical anesthetic ointment on it eg. mucopain
Do some hot saline gargles also, as it will also give you some relief.
Hope it will help you.
Regards
