Question 8

Accepted Answer

Bumps in the mouth: typically heal in 1-2 weeks, you can wait til you get back but i would make appointment now to see someone when you return. Hopefully  and likely it is nothing bad, but you need to make sure if its still there in 3 weeks to see someone (oral surgeon, dermatologist)

Question 9

Gum Pimple: Probably a draining abscess (infection) from an untreated cavity.  Requires immediate attention.  Please see a Dentist as soon as possible.

Question 10

why do i have a pimple on my gum? i have a white small bump that looks like a small pimple on my gum and it hurts

Accepted Answer

Mouth sore: Sometimes when we get a small cut in our mouth, it can get hurt as it is healing.  When our gums heal, the are is often white.  A white bump on the gum should heal quickly, if it continues to be painful or grow in size, then consider having a physician or dentist take a look at it.
