Bump: Any pain, bleeding, or (as your case) swelling deserves immediate evaluation. The most probable cause is infection, but there are other possibilities. Important that you call your Dentist for differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment or referral. Do not wait, dental infections can worsen an spread quickly.
