White spot on gum
I have this white spot that has been on my gum for probably 10 years its kind of hard as always looked the same my dentist has never said anything i asked one time and he said it is a fibroma. I am just curiouse what it is.
no it is on my bottom gum below my tooth it is pin sized and hard. I noticed it about ten years ago and it still looks the same thought it could be cancerous
Is it actually hanging from the tissue (gums)?
Fibroma is a fibrous tissue, as not to worry patients the "benign tumor" is usually not mentioned.
What is the origin of fibromas? Usually they just...well are. Same question can be asked "why do we have moles?".
In rare cases a type of fibroma may form around the old scar. The chance of fibroma appearing on the place of the scar greatly increased in African Americans.
