I ve a lump on my gum could you help with what this might be?

Q. I had surgery on my jaw in january for orthodontic purposes. my jaw was broken on eash side and slid forward to correct my bite. It was done on my bottom jaw. In august they discovered the plate was infected. I had this removed. Since then i have had a lump on my gum and small bits of bone have been coming out. can anyone help with what this mite be? my dentist is worried the bone in my jaw is crumbeling away. but my orthadontist says it is fine

A. You might asked to be referred back to the surgion who carried out your bilateral saggital split to check on what is going on.

I have a history of very poor dental hygiene and i’m having dentures now ..most of my teeth..and recently a growth or shall i say small hard lump under my right jaw appeared..it’s not painful but hard…so a specialist had a biopsy on it and found no significant case….so he asked me to see a dentist ..what could it be?

With any lump it is very important to go straight to your local dentist to have it examined an xrayed

I have a reoccurring gum problem, and it has been suggested that it may bedue to the metal in the 4 front crowns that I have. I also have a jaw thataches and clicks in and out when I visit the dentist-so I am not a great patient! Please could you let me know how much an initial appointment would be. Many thanks,
