Inside of my mouth i have swelling on my pallet above the gumline,like a bump near my molar,no white spot. had a root canal done.2yr ago..what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dentist: A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment. A dental/gum abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. The dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See a dentist for a treatment ASAP.
