Suggest Remedy For Bumps In Teeth

Hello. A few days ago I noticed a very small skin colored bump in between my two front teeth, closer to my right tooth on the gum line. It is painless! The only reason I noticed it was because it was slightly elevated. I have never had any cavities or any dental work done in that area. I floss and gargle mouth wash once a day and brush twice a day. However, I just started flossing every day just about a month ago when my dentist suggested I floss more often. Either way, I have pretty great dental hygiene. I am stumped at what it could be. It seems harmless, but I'm not sure if I should see a doctor for it or not. What could this be? Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have bump in between teeth dont be worried so much it can be due to Deposition of food debris in subgingival areas of gum , trauma during flossing or brushing , carious tooth may he root caries or due to Periodontal Abscess .
Dont be worried so much do warm saline gargle two - three times a day , consult dentist and go for radiograph of region of swollen gum at rule out the cause .

Hope this will help you.
