Question 1

i have a small hard bump on my gum area where my wisdom tooth used to be. the bump is right next to my last molar.i had my teeth pulled about 3 yr ago?

May be normal: Sometimes the gums heal into a bump because of the way the stitches were placed. It may be completely normal, but you can mention it to your dentist to have it checked.

Gum bumps: Bumps on gum usually are a sign of a periapical dental abscess and it requires treatment by a dentist as soon as possible.

Question 5

i have lil small hard bumps appearing on the inside bottom of my back teeth on the gum part (moveable).they swell and get hard like its fluid or something then go back to normal size.what can this be?my dentist closed.cancer?or normal dental issue?

Accepted Answer

Not normal...: ... and not cancer. The lesions may be small periodontal abscesses that fill and then drain. Your dentist will open up soon enough. You'll need to be seen and evaluated for treatment. Failure to treat can result in loss of your teeth.

Question 6

small bumps and lumps hard palate no size grow in a year or more torus?cancer? gum colored rough patches on jaw no red or white.dentist soon.help23age

Accepted Answer

Ask: Ask your Dentist after he/she has examined you for a knowledgeable answer.  Upper jaw torus is usually singular and in midline.  You have to be examined to be diagnosed, but odds are that your lesions are not cancerous.

Question 7

having small very hard bump on my upper jaw gum near my wisdom teeth right side no color (pink/white) no pain i noticed it about 5 month ago and went to dentist did x-ray she said its look like bone or new growing teeth.im scared if its oral caner?

Accepted Answer

Don't be scared: What you describe is not typical of oral cancer.  Most common  cause of swelling is infection, as in an abscessed tooth, which your Dentist would have diagnosed.  An extra tooth or bone-damage from cancer would have appeared on the x-ray.  Sometimes your body grows benign boney bumps (exostoses).  If you are still concerned, seek examination by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

Question 8

white hard bumps under gums means what?

Accepted Answer

Sorry unable: To render an opinion without an evaluation.  Probably best to see your dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.  Hope this helps.

Question 9

two white small bumps on my gums, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Abscess fustula: An abscess could break though the bone and the gums and appear as a small white bump. It could also be an ulcer. It would be wise to consult with your dentist.

Question 10

i noticed a  dark lumpy lesion, or concentration of small bumps, around my gums nearly 2 years ago.

Accepted Answer

Question ?: Suggest you see a local dentist to determine the cause of that lesion and any treatment that is necessary. A lesion that is present for two years is not going to resolve on its own.
