I have a lump inside my mouth on the lower gum on my jaw. It feels really strange when I talk, eat and smile. It’s quite painful. The pain feels like shooting pains in a way. It also hurts if I bend my head to the left (the side the lump is on). Please help me, what should I do? I’m really worried in case it is a gum infection or cancer because I am young. I only found the lump 10 minutes ago but as soon I started having lunch the pain started. Thank you.
I am very worried. I have had a nerve pain in my top jaw for around two years now and nothing can stop the pain. It doesn’t affect my teeth when I’m eating or drinking, but it hurts to touch, and on the right side under my nose it feels numb. A lump has been there now for around two months and it is getting bigger to the point that I am now stressed, can’t sleep well and I m not sure if it’s something sinister. Last week, my crown fell out and my dentist cemented it back in for me. I pointed out the lump and he said it’s nothing, but he had an emergency patient to deal with so I felt he wasn’t really looking. I can’t get back to see him until 12th December. However I don’t think that I can last that long and I’m not sure what to do next?
If you could advise please that would be great. Many thanks.
Hi I have a lump in my mouth. The location of the lump; the corner of my upper right
Gum between the front and side tooth on the right side.
My gum started to swell gradually
It’s been 6 months and I have seen 3
Dentists however no one knows what it is and have not yet taken any tests 🙁 I feel really let down by the NHS.
I can not afford to go private and it just seems to get worse everytime it get prodded around with.
I stupidly tried a home made remedy to whiten my teeth with banana peal could this be the cause?
One of my dentists mentioned it could be my wisdom tooth pushing my teeth forward and irritating the gum to make it swell. And has removed my wisdom tooth.. Would I need braces maybe? 🙁 pls help I can maybe send a picture via email
