My 8 year old daughter has a lump above her canine on top left gum. I noticed it yesterday, she says it only hurts if you poke it, its pea sized and round and white,at first I thought it was a tooth growilung through but it is not hard. Does it sound like an absess and should we go to the doctor tomorrow or the dentist?
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having infection in root of canine tooth. There might be having cavity in the tooth leading to root infection. Sometimes deposition of tarter in gum might cause t5his infection. Consult dentist and get examined. Ok and take care.
