Is Bump In Upper Teeth After Root Canal Treatment Normal?

Hi, I had an abscess in my upper front tooth. Was put on augmentin and had a rtc done where the abcess was drained. He put temporary fillings 2 times and the permanent filling on the 3rd visit. No pain, but the bump, though smaller in size is still there. Is that normal?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have undergone root canal treatment and now you still have bump like swelling in upper front region this can be due to infection is still present at apex of root .

For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination and investigations iopa xray of region of swelling to confirm the diagnosis.

Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day .

Hope this will help you.
