Examination: Your problem is getting worse. See your General Dentist, a Periodontist, or an Oral Surgeon. Obviously neither time nor salt water are working. Time to see a pro for differential diagnosis and an informed treatment plan. Please call NOW!

Painless bump on my gums behind my lower level of teeth. Feels like hard tissue. Doesnt hurt at all when I press on it. Definitely not a sore. I do occasionally press my tongue against my bottom teeth so Im hoping it could be a callus?
