Bumps on Upper and Lower Back Gums
by WorriedKelly, Nov 08, 2007 12:00AM
Hi Doc ... please can you give me your honest opinion on wether I should be concerned.
I've had alot of small, invisable bumps on the back of my lower and upper gums for about a year now. I visited my local dentist and she says that she can't see anything but when I run my tongue I can feel them. They are quite irritating and seem to get worse as the day progresses. My tongue also feels like it's swollen. I'm a smoker, so I'm abit concerned that all is not well! Please give me your advice.
Thank you

To ease your mind I would seek out an oral surgeon for a definitive diagnosis.
What do you think it could be?
