A member asked:

Around 2 weeks ago got tooth removed and all seems to be healing well but on the corner of the extraction there's a swollen bump no puss, what is it?

Hard to say 4 sure: Without actually seeing it. It could be some inflammation of gum on edge of bone socket. Again though, that's just a guess and i suggest that you see the dentist who removed the tooth just to be sure. Better to catch things early before they become bigger problems. This would be part of a post-op visit and you should not be charged.

See dentist: Probably nothing to worry about and it will likely take care of itself, but you should see the dentist who extracted the tooth for a follow-up check to confirm.
