Last night, after brushing my teeth I thought I still had some food stuck in the back of my mouth. There wasn’t any food left and just a small bump feeling on the back of my gums. I did have chips and salsa as an appetizer for dinner yesterday and it’s very possible the chip slightly nicked my gums. I wake up this morning having the same feeling only to see a black blood clot the size of a small bean. It’s not painful and isn’t all that irritating under the circumstances. Is this something I just wait a few days to go away? Should I use mouthwash a few times a day as well? Could this be something more serious?
Bump on the gums could be because of trauma infection at the site, i would suggest you to get the site examined by the Dentist, take an IOPA x-ray of the region, at home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Take multivitamin suplements.
Take care!
