What Could Movable Lumps On Tongue And Molar Teeth?

I have a small movable lump on the tongue side on the very back of my lower jaw. It started about 3 days ago, after eating a staek that was a bit tough. The lump started below by 1 & 2 molars, almost midway between the teeth and the floor of my mouth. Today it is literally right above where I had wisdom teeth removed severl years ago. It is pariful to the touch and at time radiates out to the jaw and closest molar

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. As per your query movable lumps on tongue and molar teeth is mainly due to tongue bite which leads to proliferation of blood vessels in that area and leads to formation of hematoma. Another possible reason is inflamed pericoronal flap of tooth or abscess in particular concerned tooth area due to carious lesion. I would suggest you to visit dentist once and get it examined. Go for removable partial denture to prevent tongue bite in empty socket area. Go for surgical removal of flap if it is only a soft tissue growth. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Take proper antibiotic course to prevent inflammation in that area. do warm saline gargles. Go for scaling and cleanliness in particular quadrant.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
