Hi all I'm just wondering if anyone could help me out here I've had a lump in my gum since November been to dentist good handful of times they said it could be a abscess BUT I've never had no pain what so ever (also had amoxicillin and it hasn't done nothing) I had a hospital appointment booked in but dentist did say to cancel as they were sure it was a abscess when I went back after my antibiotics she suggested I do go to hospital (luckily for me the hospital did send a new appointment out) but it's not until the 9th February and I'm sat worrying does anyone know what this could possibly be.. also I had a X-ray done firstly she thought was a cyst then abscess then I seen a different dentist and he mentioned something about a dark patch on my gum which showed up on X-ray should I be worried.. I'm new to this and not even sure if I'm currently posting on right thing so I do apologise for that
