I have a lump in between two off my teeth where they meet the gum. I'm not sure if should be worried or not...

Question

Should I be? =[

Answer 1

If you have had it since you were born, and it between your top 2 front teeth it is a muscle. Unless it starts to cause your teeth to pull apart creating a gap you have nothing to worry about. If it is it still is no big deal, it is really easy to get is removed, I had one. If it is somewhere else in your mouth it is most likely an irritated gum and just brush it well and use mouthwash. Hope it goes away for you!

Answer 2

try flossing regularly, sometimes gums get swollen when u don't floss, or if something is stuck between teeth.
if u press on it and it bleeds this is probably just gingivitis, easy to go away with brush and flossing.
if lesion squirts out a clear fluid it could be an abcess, a sign of infection under the gum.

Answer 3

I had a friend who had a lump like that -- he went to the dentist and paid a lot of money for the guy just to clean his teeth! It was only something stuck, and plaque built up around it!

I hope yours is something minor as well.

Answer 4

Isn't a lump like cancer? I'm sure it isn't-just go to your dentist and find out what it is. It's probably just built-up plaque.

Answer 5

Go see your dentist. It can be as simple as something that's stuck and irritating your tissues or it can be an abscess. Don't wait too long.

Answer 6

u shouldnt be worried, just brush your gums a little better

Answer 7

I don't think so. Today I got my braces off (THANK GOD!), and my gums are swelled up... If you don't think its your gums, then you might want to call your dentist and describe it to him/her. He/She might want to check on it!

I hope your OK!!

Answer 8
