I bought a 5X image mirror. I looked at my gums and found different size clusters of white purtruded dots on my gums upper and lower mostly under and above my eye teeth when I feel my gums with my fingures they feel ruff. I have a appointment Friday but was hoping you could ease some of my fears there is no rednise and they don't appear to be uniformed. any insight I would so appreciate thank you for getting back to me so fast

Hi Darr

Look again in the article called Examination Technique with Normal Findings and Structures Mistaken for Disease at (Figs. 1.55 and 1.56) about gingival fibrous nodules or gingival nodules. A similar appearance caused by bone lumps above the upper anterior teeth are called exostoses. or just by the bumps caused by the roots of the teeth!

Don't worry so much Big Grin .

Best wishes
