Suggest Treatment For Swollen Tooth Bulge

I have bulge above tooth. It looks like it is swollen but it feals like bone. There is no pain. Tooth below is "dead" for years now. Sometimes it swells a bit but it receeds quite fast (day or two) but bulge stays always. Bulge is quite high above tooth.

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have swelling above necrosed tooth this can be due to infection present at the apex of root of decayed tooth or due to infection present at surrounding areas that is infection in peridontal ligament so there can be formation of periapical or peridontal abscess.
For this I will suggest you that you should consult dentist and go for visual examination of swelling and tooth , go for investigation IOPA xray of tooth and its treatment.
In meantime you do warm saline rinses and maintain proper oral hygiene.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards ,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
