Quit Smoking, Use Smokeless Grizzly, Have A Painful Bump Behind Teeth. Irritation?
Hello. I quit smoking 22 days ago, found non nicotine non tobacco pouches and hear great things. The cravings have gotten worse to due stress factors so I want an assist. I have been using smokeless grizzly while I await my safe dip to arrive in the mail. Be advised I ve read about the bumps and such. My question. I have only used 1 can and have a fairly painful bump on behind teet on my gum. Irritation or should I get this looked at?

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Please get this lesion examined by a doctor. It could be an abcess or maybe, something more serious. Since you have a risk factor of smoking, it's better not to ignore these lesions, but have them checked. So, please don't hesitate to see a doctor.
Wish you all the best.
