Lump on gum

I discovered a large hard bony lump on my upper gum towards back of my mouth. It's not an abscess, there is no pain when touching it but there is pain going into my ears and my jaw feels heavy. I'm worried sick. Waiting to get an apt. Has anyone had anything similar?

  • Hi Ch100 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the lump you've found on your gum but you've done the right thing by getting in touch with your doctor about this so fingers crossed it won't be long until you can get an appointment and find out more.

    We'll have our fingers crossed it won't be any cause for concern.

    Kind regards,
