[|Human|] I have a big bump on the upper part of my gums. Its not near my teeth. It hurts especially when I press my face against it.  The pain feels like its radiating to my teeth as if I have a toothache but if I simply touch my teeth, my teeth doesnt hurt. I noticed the big bump on my gums 5 days ago and wondering whom I should call: a dentist or a general doctor?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have painful bump on upper gum this can be due inflammation of gum due to deposition of plaque and calculus in sublingual areas of gums. There might be formation of periodontal abscess in gum causing swelling. For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of gums and in meantime do warm saline rinses, and you can apply ointment like gum paint on gums. Hope this will help you.
