Small, Hard Lump In Mouth Under The Crown Of Tooth. History Of Filling Done On Tooth In Front Of Crown With Multiple Shots Given. Thoughts?
I have a small hard lump in my mouth at the jawline on bottom left side. I have a crown on the tooth that the small hard lump is under. About 2 months ago I had a filling done on the tooth in front of the crown. I will tell you she gave ma alot of shots to stop the pain (about 5) She said at the time "I have given you enough for an elephant". Well now I am nervious because, it has a lump under that area. It is a bit sore, not horrible but noticeable. What do you think it is

Hello There,
Painful hard lump under the tooth in which you had pain and infection indicates infection still persist in the same.
So i would like to suggest you visit back to your dentist as soon as possible and get the thorough clinical examination done and x-ray of the same tooth for confirm diagnosis and take a proper treatment accordingly.
Meanwhile you can perform warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
Nothing to get worried.
Take Care.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
It indicates there is pus formation in associated tooth.
Did you went for root canal treatment before capping of that tooth?
If yes then there might be some problem in RCT
otherwise there might be carious lesion which has progressed down & formed an abscess.
You need to get an x-ray done of that tooth & get it it examined by your dentist.
Get it treated accordingly.
It might require RCT or extraction based on clinical & radiographic examination.
