Suggest Treatment For Bumps In The Mouth And Below The Gums
I have tiny bumps inside my mouth on the inside of the lips and below the gums, as well as on the cheeks. What might cause this? They do not hurt, although I do feel a bit unwell.
I am a 38 year old female with no serious illness and generally healthy and active. I'm 5'7", 128 lbs.

what is the consistency of the bumps / are they hard(bony) , soft (palpable). also we need to know for how long have they been present. hard bony outgrowths are benign meaning no treatment is required .
however soft growths could be due to a variety of gum enlargements like pyogenic granuloma which requires excision or better go for biopsy at the advice of a dentist
