I have dentures on the top of my mouth. When I removed them two days ago there is a bump in the middle of my upper gum area. Is this caused by the denture or should I be worried. I dont have any insurance and I am hoping there is something I can do at home to get rid of it. It feels like a pimple and hurts when I press on it but when my denture is in it doesnt hurt and I cant feel it.
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. This bump which you are mentioning, can be a sinus opening, it occurs because of infection, can be a tooth infection or a bony infection. But you can go for full mouth x-ray to get it diagnosed, for which you have to visit a dentist, as these conditions can be treated on your own. You can start with a topical anesthetic ointment till you visit a dentist, to apply on the bump. Hope it will help you.
