Hard lumpy bits on gums
Posted , 3 users are following.
For some years I have had hard lumpy bits on gum where two upper back teeth were removed. From time to time they would feel tender and seem bigger for a few days and settle down. For the past two or three weeks they have seemingly gone up and down in size several times in the day but no seeming redness or sign of an abscess. While I'm aware of them they are not really painful. I've rinsed in salty water two or three time a day but the problem continues and also used Bonjela
Has anyone had a similar problem and advice apart from consult a dentist

Hi
sorry to hear that
i can only think you maybe have accidentally bitten your gums perhaps while eating. & only becomes apparent after eating ive done that many times
if not maybe consult your dentist

No I've not bitten them when eating. As I said they tend to swell up and down during the day and are also like that in the morning.

As I said I have had them for years and they come and go but recently there seems more and they now feel more noticeable and go up and down in size. I have not been to dentist but in the past he has not thought them a problem. I don't recall anyone putting a name to them.

It is strange as most of the swelling there this late afternoon has subsided.

Hi derek thats good news isnt it -if theyve subsided? hope they disappear for good -just be careful you dont bite any thing that may cause them to re arise
