What Causes Lump In Upper Gum After An Injection?

I had an injection in my upper gum to fill a cavity. I developed oral neuropathy temporarily, but now am pain free; however, where the shot was given, a lump grew and is still there. Is thes cancerous or some type of calcium deposit? It is hard, painless.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the hard structure at the site of injection could be fibrosed site of injection. nothing to worry it is not cancerous lesion. the site of injection will be tender for some time it may vary from weeks to a month. do saline gargling. you can take an analgesic if you have pain. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
