Answer 1

Gum disease causes inflamation of your gums. The gum is not growing on your teeth, however it is very swollen and inflamed. It is possible that you have something stuck under the gum that is causing additional inflamtion. Have you eaten popcorn recently? It is going to be sore. The dentist can clean around it, and get whatever irratants are present out of the gum (this may just be plaque and calculus build-up or something may be lodged in your gum or a combination).
Take a cup and put about a 1/2 ounce of peroxide and a 1/2 ounce of water in it. Take a q-tip and put the peroxide mix on your irritated gums. Leave it there for about a minute and then you can spit, but don't rinse it off. If your whole mouth is inflamed you can rinse it around your mouth as well. Make sure to try and keep it in your mouth on the gums for atleast one minute for it to work well. That should help. They also sell Peroxyl, it is by Colgate and any Walgreens or CVS should have it. It's the same basic thing except it has mint flavoring to it.

Answer 2

There are several possibilities: it could be an abcessed tooth. If that is the case the bump will continue to grow larger and more painful. If you have an abcessed tooth you will need to see your dentist for either a root canal or an extraction. (by the way, you did not indicate your age, if you are very young it could just be a new tooth coming in) If the bump is behind your upper two front teeth; there is a good chance that you either 1) cut that area with sharp food, think tortilla chip, or 2) you burned that area with a hot drink or food. If that is the case; simply keep it clean and wait for it to heal.

Answer 3

It's likely due to your gum disease. Try really hard not to irritate it further with your tongue-maybe get some of the stuff they sell for teething babies to make it less sore-and wait until your dentist appointment.

Answer 4

sounds like your papilla. i'm not sure that i'm spelling that correctly. it's the spot that gets burned when you eat hot pizza. you may have irritated it. it could also b a fistula. an infection that would require a root canal. usually looks like a pimple above the tooth in your gums. go to the dentist office. they'll take an x-ray and see whats going on.

Answer 5

You poor thing. I really don't know what it is but I would say try not to mess with it till you get to the dentist. Easier said than done, but if it is gum you want to leave enough so he has something bigger to work with.

Answer 6

You may want to visit your local pharmacy and have a talk to your pharmacist, I'm certain he/she will be able to help you, with some sort of numbing cream/gel for your gums - until you are able to visit your dentist.

Answer 7

You probably have gingevitus. (wrong spelling probably lol)
You can get rid of it by using special toothpaste your dentist will recommend and brushing more often/flossing every day.

You might have the option of having gum surgery as well.

Answer 8

Im 14 too. I have NO IDEA. But I do know. I used to have something like that. OK. JUST DONT TOUCH IT. If you keep touching it it will get bgger. so stop touching it.
