What Could Be A Recurring Bump On Gum?
This is more of a dental issue, but I figured you could still help. I have had a bump on my gum for about 2 months now. It is on the uper left side of my gum above a tooth i had a root cannal on. When it becomes irritation I would push on it and it would "pop" but then just come back again. What could this be? It isnt white or anything and its a little smaller than a pinky nail. I need help!

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This bump on the gums shows that there is some infection still left below the tooth, this bump is because of an abscess which is formed due to the infection.
Better you should visit your dentist again and get the examination done of the root canal treated tooth.
Hope it will help you.
