What Causes Lump In Gum Post Wisdom Tooth Removal?
I had my bottom right wisdom tooth removed roughly 8 weeks ago and now I have a solid pea size lump in my gum just bellow where the tooth was removed. The only way I can describe it is as tho bone is trying to break through. It is not sore but is extriemly tender to touch

8 weeks is a good time for the socket to heal. Please check if there is any pus discharge from the Socket. Generally it is granulomatous tissue should be alright in a weeks time. If tenderness persists consult a near by dentist
