Hi XXXX
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
This strange gum sensation in up upper front gum might not be associated with the deviated nasal septum . But it could be because of stimulation of upper teeth roots in maxillary sinuses .
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice you
Investigation like CT Scan nose & sinuses to study upper teeth roots , deviated septum & sinuses status .
Till then i would advice continue steroid nose spray along-with saline nasal spray or rinse .
You can revert back to me with report .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
