How to cure bumps and pain on the upper gums ?
Patient: My son is 7 years old and has had a bump on his upper gums (under his lip, right above his tooth) for the last 3-4 months. He has fairly healthy teeth and goes to the dentist annually. It does not cause him pain, however, I am concerned. What is it and how can I get rid of it? Doctor: Thanks for using HealthCare Magic.Read your query.The bulging of the gums can be due to few reasons for your son.If the front teeth of his not erupted , it can be due to this (pre eruption bulge).As the tooth starts erupting in the mouth , it will reduce.Second , it can be due to a abscess formation if any of the mentioned tooth is decayed or traumatised .If there is decay please get it checked with the local dentist.If it still persists , get it evaluated.Hope this was useful.Thanks and regards.
