Bump on gum?
Question:
Answers:
Your question doesn't explain the problem enough. I will just go with maybe you are experiencing Pregnancy Gingivitis. Is this the tissue behind your last molar? If it is make sure to floss down deep in a "c" shape behind your last molar. If plaque builds up in that area it will really make it sore. Rinse with warm salt water (2 tsp salt, juice glass of water). Brush behind that area really well too. Place the bristles so that they go down into the gum as it goes behind the molar. During pregnancy your hormones make your gums much more tender if you leave plaque. If you haven't had your teeth cleaned in the past 6 months you really need too. Keeping your mouth clean and keeping bacteria to a minimum is important not only for you but also for your baby. Low birth weight has been associated with Periodontal Disease.
If the bump is in the area of the root that could be a fistula and that is related to an abscess tooth. I hope something I mentioned was what you were asking about. Good luck.
there is suppos to be a bump on the gum that's how u chew your gum...
well it could be a wisdom tooth coming in?? have you gotten them in or had them pulled at all? if yes then i would go see a doctor.
i've HEARD that there are some "bumps" people get on their gums that are swollen and sore and are filled with poisonous liquid (caused by infection) and if the "bump" pops and you swallow the liquid you can get very sick or die. like i said i've only heard about this so i don't know how true it is, but in any case if you know for sure its not wisdom teeth then i would see a doctor, especially being pregnant.
you might have eaten something thats unwashed, or somekind of bacteria might have gotten into your mouth; try mouth wash for a few days or warm water and salt helps too. if it doesnt go away try asking your dentist, i dont thing its anything that will kill you.
well it's not easy to diagnose something without a medical examination but it seems to me that you have a pregnancy tumor, do not panic it's not actually a tumor it's just a name..
let me tell you about it , it's a tumour like mass may form interproximally, isolated, protruding, bright red, often appears in the 2nd trimester, it may bleed on slightest provocation, it may cause migration and increased mobility of the adjecent teeth, it has been suggested that some form of truma or irritation such as plaque may initiate the lesion and of course with the help of hormonal alteration.
generally the lesion will regress postpartum but surgical excision often required for complete resolution.
the only thing you can do now is to keep your mouth in a good oral hygiene.
Sounds like a gum abcess. Antibiotics and maybe a rct.
