Lump in mouth..... an ideas?!

[Justwingingit2005]

Hey

I have a lump on the gum under my lower premolar. No idea how long its been there.

Doesnt hurt, nor do any of the teeth.

It feels very hard.

My dentist can't see my for a week.

Thanks in advance.

Could be a canker sore? I get them sometimes when I’m run down and they don’t hurt but last a few weeks.

Also could be a gum nodule?

I posted about a painful canker sore
It looks a bit similar but not sure
Mine really effing hurt

That looks like a mandibular torus - essentially it is a bony lump. they are unusual but perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

It could be a mucocele. They are caused if you bite your gum a lot. I had one removed a few years ago. If that’s what it is then they are harmless, and they can remove them very easily.

I have a lump in same place (although it feels like its smaller than lump in your pic) and have been to dentist - he said it was a mucocele, like a small cyst filled with water. It drives me crazy and I poke at it constantly but dentist said it's unlikely to go away and getting it removed would be a bigger job than it's worth.

Torus mandibularis or a saliva stone ....

Did you see the dentist OP? What did they say?
