Can you tell me how i could cure a swollen bumb on my gum behind my 2 front top teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let time pass: That bump is normal....It is tissue that covers a nerve and blood vessels ... This tissue can be easily injured (hot pizza, scalding soup, hard bread crust, etc.) resulting in it becoming swollen. Keep the area clean, maybe use some salt water rinses, and give it some time to heal on its own. If it does not get better in about a week you should visit your dentist.
