Medical Conditions - Inflamed Incisive Papilla

What causes a swollen papilla after orthodontic treatment?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. The papilla is red and swollen palatally and looks like it bleeds to the touch. But it is nothing serious.

I have a painful bump on my gums between the upper two front teeth. What can I do?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Please be calm. It is nothing but inflamed incisive papilla. It can be caused due to some hard food chewing or specific trauma by either toothpick or Perio-Aid.
