What Causes Bumps Between Teeth And Under The Gum?
I have small bumps in between some of my teeth but not at the very end and a few larger bumps under the gum above both eye teeth. They don't hurt and don't bleed and really don't seem to be bothering me, however, when I finish brushing or eating my gums turn red. I have never had these bumps or redness before. I was to the dentist a few weeks ago for a periodontal cleaning and scraping and they didn't make to much of them, but it is not going away. Any ideas?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
This bump which you are mentioning can be just a normal swelling of gums, as if it was a infection of gums, it might have gone by cleaning of tooth.
If it is not causing any problem or not painful than you should leave it like this. But if in future it creates any problem then you should go for an x-ray of the areas as it will show the cause of infection.
Hope it will help you.
