i had teeth out 12 years ago and always felt a little lump where one had been taken out. Ive noticed today it feels a bit bigger,its not painful and i can move it up and down. It feels firm but i can push into it and it gives but nothing comes out.any ideas?
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, I would suggest you to consult the concerned Dentist and get the checkup done take an IOWA X-ray of the region to see if there is any broken root piece in the socket causing re-infection or lump, if so it could be removed or else the pus can be Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to take course of antibiotic and analgesic. At home take lukewarm saline NAD antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take multivitamin supplements. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope you find this as helpful, Take care!
