Swollen Gum Due To An Injury. Whitish Bumps Formed. What Are These?

hi there, looks like the injury in your gum has healed with scarring which could be seen as a white bump or a piece of the nacho is embedded in your gum causing a foreign body reaction due towhich the bump is still seen. If it is not causing any discomfort or foul smell or discharge from yuour gums, you can let it be and over a period of time it will not be visible but otherwise then please visit your dentist and get an opinion and treatment if required. Take care.

Hi annettey,
The whitish bumps are arised from the abscess developed due to traumatic injury.
I would suggest you to visit a dentist for clinical evaluation.
Root canal treatment and curettage of abscess has to be done.
Take complete course of antibiotics.
Use soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth.
Rinse mouth using warm saline and chlorhexidine mouthrinse.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take nutritious diet.
Drink plenty of water.
Hope this helps.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

According to your clinical history i suspect your interdental paipllae or the gums between the lower teeth have injured and the cut seems to be healing with scar formation which appears like a white bump like area.

do not worry , you just need symptomatic treatment to cure this.


start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem.

avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.

Apply oral antiseptic ,analgesic ointments like dentogel or mucogel topically over the affected area

i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine which helps in faster healing.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
