Question 1

two 3mm moveable hard lumps behind bottom front teeth in gums, and one 1mm hard non moveable lump in similar position next to the two moveable lumps?

Accepted Answer

Bumps: It takes a physical exam to  be able to see, feel and take appropriate X-ray to give you an accurate diagnosis.  See a dentist ASAP for this.

Question 2

i have power chains on my 2 front teeth and they closed rapidly and pushed the gum back and caused a lump of gum behind my teeth, will it go away ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Your body will most likely take care of the extra tissue.  It's most likely swollen from being pinched between the teeth.  If it doesn't resolve on its own a very simple procedure to remove the painful tissue can be performed by a laser trained dentist.  Take some ibuprofen if it is painful and give it a week or so to resolve.  Hope this helps!

Question 3

i noticed a small lump under my tongue, behind my front teeth that seems to be at the bottom of my gums. it's painless and moveable. it hasn't grown. ?

Accepted Answer

Gum growth: Can be a number of things. Most probably a salivery gland issue. You should see an oral surgeon for an evaluation.

Question 4

i have a lump on lower gum behind front teeth feels bony base is fixed to gum but can pull the tip towards teeth does this sound like a torus?

Accepted Answer

No: Tori are hard and the gum tissue is firmly attached, kind of like the skin on the front of your shin. There shouldn't be any loose tissue that can move around if it is a tori. Just have it checked out.

Question 5

what to do if i have a lump on my gum behind my bottom front tooth its pink and only tender if i press it its been there?

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: There is no way to be sure what the lump is without a clinical exam. It could be an abcessed tooth, a gum abcess, an infection on the floor of your mouth, a blocked saliva duct.
Any abnormality in your mouth that lasts beyond 7-10 days needs to be examined by a dentist.

Question 6

i have a decayed tooth down to the gums and it is now swollen with a lump behind my ear. i have amoxicillin 500mg how many equals 3g  can take@ once?

Accepted Answer

Phone Call: You need to call a dentist IMMEDIATELY for treatment. You do realize that antibiotics will not solve your problem. You need to have that tooth extracted, and failure to do so now can result in the infection spreading to other parts of your body. If that happens, you may need hospitalization. Please call now.

Question 7

small, moveable lumps underneath front bottom teeth. below the gums, not visible. i've had one since i was 17 that's gotten bigger, and two new ones popped up as well. they do not hurt, they feel uncomfortable. should i be worried?

Exam needed: If these are painless they are most likely harmless bony growths of the lower jaw or fibrous accumulations from prior irritation. However, to be sure you would have to have a dentist or oral surgeon examine them.
