I have a small white bump on my gum, it does not hurt, but it has been present for almost three weeks. I got it from chewing tobacco, however I had only been chewing for about three months when I got it. I have since quit but it has not gone away. It does not hurt, and it has progressively looked better, but has yet to go away. Any ideas? I will not be able to see a dentist for at least another five weeks.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Since your history says that you have been chewing tobacco for about three months. So there could be possibility to develop some irrational lesion. Since it is not painful. You can be sure that there is no infection. But it could be something else too. therefore I would suggest you to visit your dentist. Get a biopsy done. After that it can be confirmed what that lesion is. until maintain good oral hygiene and take care. Thanks
