A member asked:
There is a weird shape under the gums on the top right side of my mouth. should i contact my dentist?

Yes: Any time something "out of the ordinary" lasts more than three days or recurs three times you need to seek medical/dental attention. Your dentist can provide a diagnosis or referral to a qualified specialist who can provide one.
