Hi. I have a small, painless lump on my lower gum where I had an abcsessed tooth extracted, that moves around a fair bit if I push it between my fingers. This lump only appeared after the extraction of the tooth (which was a year ago!) It was about a month after the extraction that I first noticed it. I have a dental appointment in the morning, but was curious to find out what this lump could be?
HELLO AND WELCOME, The lump arose at the area of tooth extracted due to- ANY root remnant at the area of tooth extracted decayed associated tooth improper healing of extraction socket area. CLINICAL EXAMINATION AS WELL AS X-RAY OF THE AREA IS REQUIRED FOR EXACT DIAGNOSIS. The extraction socket area has to be curetted well to Chat Doctor.  Complete course of antibiotics has to be administered. REG ARDS
