Suggest Treatment For Hard White Lump On The Gums

Hello, I am seeking some professional help for a small white hard bump below my bottom front teeth. If anyone has any dental knowledge I would be really happy. The bump does not hurt unless I push very hard and it was noticed by my local dentist and he may refer me to a oral specialist. Does anyone know what this is??

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hard white lump on the gums which seems to be because of tooth infection which which is resulting in abscess and pus formation. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper diagnosis. You should get RCT done to drain present infection. Gargle with Listerine mouth wash. Take ibuprofen and acetaminophen for pain. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. If it is due to calculus deposition then you should go for cleaning and scaling of particular quadrant as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
