Bump On Wisdom Teeth Extraction Site

[alexalaina99]

So I have this small but painful bump on the site of where I got my wisdom tooth removed two months ago. I decided to take a picture because I have no idea how to explain it. It could be a cankor sore, but I'm curious.

I also had gum sore when my wisdom tooth has arrived. It was painful. I used warm water with sea salt rinse it thoroughly twice in a day. It really helped me. You have to try it.

I'd recommend calling or going in to see the dentist who did the procedure. They will be able to take a look inside your mouth to make sure things are healing up as they should be and that there are no complications.

The lump can be pus building up (If your cheek/face starts swelling then it can definitely be an indication of an infection), the lump could be a blood clot that forms there during healing, or simply because of irritation to the area, which will go away. Canker sore could have formed due to the surgical stress in that area as well.

After the extraction of a wisdom tooth, there is a pretty substantial cavity made in your jaw were the tooth once was. This takes a while to fill in and heal over, during this filling process the cavity can be very delicate and sensitive. This might explain the "bump" you are seeing.
