What Is The Treatment For A Bump On The Gum?
I had a tooth removed, but the root was left in, this caused I believe 'draining sinuses'. I have since had the root removed but over the last week I have had a bump appear on my gum & some pain/irritation. Is this the draing sinuses again & what is the cure? Many thanks.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have root stump left inside gum, yes there can be formation of pus Periapical Abscess .
For this you should consult dentist and go for proper removal of root stump left for proper healing .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Hope this will help you.
