bump inside front gum keeping growing back
by Stacycub, Feb 06, 2009 01:46PM
I recently had a bridge put in for my front teeth.
When the temporary were in a bump develop, when the dentist took it out it look like tooth. A few weeks later, the bump came back, again he suction it out.
I now have my permanant bridge in and the bump has come back. It cause some minor pain/discomfort.
Should I be concerned ? I have research this without any leads on what it could be since it keeps on coming back.
Thanks for any advice.

So this bump constantly appears and only disappears when the dentist uses a suction to remove it?
Is it possibly a piece of a tooth that may have been left after the extraction and now the pieces that were left are finally being pushed out? Or is the bump soft and pus is discharged when you press on it?
