How To Treat A Lump At The Roof Of The Mouth?
I had a dental extraction last week & had injections in the roof of my mouth, I ve already been back to the dentist once & have a dry socket, now it feels as if there is a lump in the roof of my mouth where he injected & is very sore & painful. What can cause this?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This lump can be because of improper injection also or may be because of infection of tooth which has spread to the roof.
Better that you visit your dentist and get an x-ray done of the area which will show the cause of infection. And get the proper treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
