How To Cure Hematoma Of Gum?
I am a 60 years old man. I developed a hematoma in the gum after some heavy lifting when working around the house. The hematoma is tender when touched. My dentist diagnosed it as hematoma. Should I wait until the hematoma pops, i.e., drains itself? What kind of doctors treat gum hematoma?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually hematomas are the condition which heals on its own as they dissolve slowly.
You should wait for 7-10 days, and if it does not heals after that also then you should visit your dentist again and get it surgically removed.
Hope it will help you.
