Bump on my gum just above tooth?
 

Hi all. Random thing I noticed this morning: a somewhat large, uncomfortable lump right above one of my molars in my gum. It's slightly painful if I touch it, but my tooth doesn't hurt or anything. I washed out my mouth with salt water this morning & the swelling has gone down slightly. Any idea what this may be or how to get rid of it? Thanks xx

could be an ulcer or any number of things like an infection or another tooth comming through. perhaps use mouthwas or salt water for a while but if it dosnt begin to clear up then speak to a dentist.

Thank you for all of your responses. I went to my dentist and it turns out I have an abscess. :(

Ouch :( I currently have one too, so you're not alone! Antibiotics have cleared mine up for now, waiting to see my dentist to get it properly sorted. Hope yours gets better soon! x
