Small bump on gums behind front teeth
 Login/Join

Hey Guys...

I just found this forum; I joined to ask a question that I could not find an answer to anywhere on the web.

I have a small (very small) bump on my gums directly ( 1-2mm Max) behind my front teeth. It's the tooth just to the left of center. I've had it for about a week or so. It is just slightly raised- almost not noticeable, but just enough to be annoying. When I push it down with my finger, it flattens out; flush with the gums, but slowly comes back. I can't find an answer anywhere... I was hoping someone might have a clue what it is. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello Boston12

It would help if you said upper or lower teeth! If you can post a picture. TO POST AN IMAGE INTO YOUR POST:
  • Join and upload your image to a website like Image Shack
  • Use the image link function (the picture image) from the message menu


It is not possible to give a diagnosis over the Internet but I could venture some advice.

Best wishes
