How To Treat A Bump On The Gum?
I have a small bump on my gum and am worried. It has happened twice before and within the last three month. The first time I had a dead tooth without any pain, just the bump. The second time I had to have a root canal. Do I need to see a specialist or what?

hellooo....going through your query i must say that the bump in gum is due to the dead teeth...though the tooth might be dead from outside but it might have infected from down...and after root canal also it can be infected...so u might have to take amoxicillin n metronidazole for 5 days and see..still if its increasing...have to better meet the dentist...its just a usual phenonmenon..nothing to panic in this...be happy...everything will be fine...have a nice day!!!
