My mom has a little bump on her gum because of her tooth. I think it is infected. I am not sure if it is an abscessed tooth but the dentist took an xray and he said she will need to get rid of the "black image" shown on the xray in her tooth - it might be decayed or whatever i am not sure. My mom had root canal on that tooth before and she thought she would need to take off her crown and get it recleaned. However, the dentist said she doesn't need to do that. All she needs to do is go thru a small surgery in which they will cut open her gum and fix the tooth?!! We are going back to Asia next week - my mom will get it fixed then. But for now her gum is still swollen with that bump. The dentist said the bump can be swollen and not swollen...it really depends..TO ALL THE DENTISTS ON HERE-- any suggestions? much appreciated!!!

I just had a tooth drilled and refilled. I have a bump on my gum next to the same tooth. I wonder if I have the same thing. I'm pissed at my dentist.
