Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
So, I found one small bump on my gum right before the tooth. I barely touched it and it started bleeding but it was only one bump. Should I be concerned?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As per your history, it seems to me that you are having acute apical periodontitis with a gingival abscess. For that, you need to take antibiotics for at least five days. The tenderness of the tooth is also because of the same reason.
