[|Human|] I have a lump on my jawline. It seems like my dentist went overboard with the numbing shots before fitting a crown. The lump is where my dentist put one of the shots, also below the crown. After the dentist, my tooth was sore for the rest of the day. Not until night time when I was brushing my teeth did I notice my tooth. It was still bleeding and it looked like the crown was too tight, like pushing my gums down. What is the lump and what should I do?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. According to the history given, it could be gingival irritation or formation of pocket or sometimes infection in the teeth too.  In many cases the bleeding may be due to overextension of the margins of the crown into the gum. Sometimes there could be sharp margins too. Check for them too. I would advise you to go for oral prophylaxis first.  And this should be followed by replacement of crown. Check for causal fittings too. With an articulating paper.  If still, your problem persists then see your dentist for the clinical examination for any underline cause.  Hope this helps you. Thanks
