Question:
I haven't been to a dentist in years and have never needed any dental work done, save braces and having my wisdom teeth removed. I just noticed that below my left lower molar there is a quite large bump that has developed.
It is as hard as bone and isn't painful in any way, nor does it bleed. Should I see a dentist about this or wait and see if it goes away? ... Visitor from GA
Answer:
It sounds like you may wait till it goes away. But if I were you I would go to see a dentist. You may have an infection that is developing. Or it could be what we call a Tori which is an outgrowth of bone that is normal.
