Ive found a lump on the lower left side of my gum its white with grey next to it. I am VERY scared. Please can anyone tell me what it is?
Ive booked an appointment at the dentist but its a week away.

Tigah,
Tell your doctor/dentist you want an emergency appointment, they have to see you with in 48 hours! Even better go to your hospital dental surgery as the max fax team will see you there and then!

Might be nothing but be on the safe side!

Hi Tigah

Apologies for the delayed reply - I got busy with work.

I can't tell you what the 2 lumps on the lower left side of your gum, one small white lump and the other slightly bigger but still small grey lump, might be without seeing you. From the information you gave in your private message, I would say that your age and sex don't put you in a high risk group for oral cancer. If you haven't taken the greatest care with the oral hygine of your mouth, they could be gum 'boils' or chronic infections. You have done the right thing in getting a dentist appointment. Waiting until first week of Feb to see your dentist won't affect the outcome. Stop worrying.

Let us know how you get on and what your dentist says.

Best wishes
