Hi,
Hoping you can help me with something......I've been having some trouble with a tooth for the past couple of months, thinking it is probably just a cavity, and I know I need to go get it looked at. The other day, I noticed some tenderness under my cheek and I put my finger up there, and there is a hard lump, about the size of a pea. When I press on it, is is tender to touch, and I notice it gives me a slight twinge in that tooth. The lump is high up on my gum,almost like it is just under my cheekbone. Does this sound like an infection? I'm so frightened it may be a tumor.....
If it's an infection, how would they treat it, just fix the tooth, and then would it go away?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mary
