What Does A Lump Near Tooth Extraction Site Indicate?
I had my back upper right tooth pulled on Friday. Now I can feel some sort of lump near the sight that is painful, I have clusters of canker sores around the area, mostly on my cheek. I also just noticed cluster of small white bumps spreading across my gum away from the extraction site, towards the front of my mouth. I really hope they don't turn into canker sores since I'm already in agony but I have no idea what they are.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction now you have lump near extraction site dont worry for this you can do is you can apply ointment Gum paint twice daily on painful Gums .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day .
Do betadine gargle twice daily for one week .
If you wont get relief then consult dentist for oral examination .
Hope this will help you.
