Question : I had small bumps on my gum at the bottom where my bottom gum meets my lower lip. This is something that has never happened before. Can you please advise me on what this could be?

i recently had a surgery to remove any exostosis in mouth so Im not sure what this could be

Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried so much. Seems like inflammation of gums.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

As far as I have seen your photograph there is inflammation in your gums it can be due to gingivitis or periodontal ligament inflammation.

There is nothing to be worried i will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 to 3 times a day and you can do chlorhexidine mouthwash regularly. Apply lignocaine and choline salicylate gel on gums for inflammation (redness).

Hope this will help you.
If you have further query i will be happy to help.
