Movable Lump Beneath Central Bottom Teeth. What Is It?
Hi, i am an 18 year old. I have noticed a lump beneath the skin of the floor of mouth right beneath the central bottom teeth. It seems like around 0.5cm and it is completely movable. I seem to have another on the right side but it seems smaller. It has been there for quite long i think, probably more than half a year but in still worried!

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Movable lump may have arised due to-periodontal infection or deep caries of associated tooth.
I would advice you to get a thorough clinical evaluation done.
Pus if present has to be drained and curretted.
Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.
Antibiotics along with analgesics has to be administered.
Take care.
