Accepted Answer

Irritated Gum: It sounds like you've irritated your gum by chewing on it. Try not to chew there and see if it doesn't heal in a week. If it persists or gets worse see your dentist. Good luck

Question 3

little bump on the beside the wisdom tooth, is that a std?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say...: Bumps and lesions of the oral cavity need to be  visualized to be diagnosed. How long has it been there? What is the condition of your wisdom tooth? Best to have it examined locally by your dentist..

Question 4

what should i do? i have painful bump above first molar wisdom tooth?

Accepted Answer

Examination: Painful bumps should be examined by a dentist to determine the cause and proper treatment. Please make the call.

Question 5

need help. i've got a sensitive to touch and chew bump on my gum where my wisdom tooth should come in at.?

Accepted Answer

Bump: It is hard to answer without knowing whether you do or do not have a wisdom tooth coming in, and without knowing the condition of the gum in the area. Please have a dentist check, as the area you are describing is common to start gum disease called periodontitis. This is #1 cause of tooth loss in adult (not from having a cavity!) x-rays will show if a wisdom tooth is now pushing out, if so.

Question 6

i have a bump where i got my wisdom tooth removed, the bump hurts a little, is it infected? i got it extracted 1 month ago.

Accepted Answer

Wisdom Tooth: Only an examination could tell if this is normal healing or an infection.  You should have the doctor who removed the wisdom tooth get a look at it.

Question 7

i had my wisdom tooth removed,then had a small line-like bump above it, i think the bump is lighter color.&today it feels scaly.could be a cut healin?

Accepted Answer

It is a normal: healing process that takes 3-4 weeks. Good post-operative care is very important for normal wound healing. If you have any concerns or questions always ask your surgeon for post-op evaluation.

Question 8

can wisdom tooth cause tongue bumps? how to get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If you are constantly biting your tongue with your wisdom teeth, this could possibly create a bump. You should have this bump evaluated by your dentist so that they can determine its actual cause and what treatment, if any, is recommended.

Question 9

dental question. i have a growing wisdom tooth on the top right. on the side of it going upwards to my gums there is a hard bump. it had a head too like its a pimple. it was big and hurting, now its going down but head still there. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: The swelling associated with an impacted wisdom tooth could be due to infection. It is possibly due to food impaction and this swelling could recur until the wisdom tooth is extracted or has erupted into it proper space with right angulation. See a proper specialist for an eval.

Question 10

there's a bump the same color of my gum on the right side in the back where my wisdom tooth should be, is it harmful? what is it?

Accepted Answer

Fribroma: If you have not had your wisdom tooth removed it may well be that the tooth is attempting to erupt causing a bump.  An intraoral xray will be helpful.  If you have already had the wisdom tooth removed it may be a fibroma, or scar tissue, resulting from healing of the gum.  It is not usually harmful.
