What Causes Bumps Inside The Mouth?
I have recently been noticing that a few bumps have been forming on the inside of my mouth (the oral mucosa , if I m not mistaken in attempting to be specific)... And, to be honest, I truly do not possess any intellect about these growths whatsoever. I just refer to them as gingival polyps , however; I ve even been squeezing them so they could be removed, but it seems like more of them form after I consume something. Do any of y all know the information on this condition I currently have?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually gingival polyps are those who grow on the gums. If the bumps are on any other area of oral mucosa, they are not gingival polyp.
But if they are occuring on gingiva only then they can be infection of gums or tooth. To confirm any bump you have to visit a good oral medicine specialist and get them properly examined with an x - ray.
Hope it will help you.
