painless lump on gumhi i have a crown on my front tooth and have noticed a small painless lump on the gum above.i had absess in my root months ago as i had pain and swelling,but took antibiotics which got rid...could this be to do with that?kate
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The abscess could be a recurrent infection from the same tooth. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out infection. Get the tooth root canal treated (if previously not root canal treated) and repeat the crown. Take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination(if you are not allergic).  I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
