Hard lump in my mouth - concerning me
Alicejc2 5 minutes ago Hi , I have a lump in my mouth on my left upper gum / tooth. it doent hurt atall and I have had it for over a yea . I spoke to my dentist about it and he told me not to worry about it . I still don\'t know what it is and I\'m a little worried . I suck my thumb aswell , can\'t really seem to get out of the habit , I\'m going to try and use stop and grow so I can get out of the nasty habit but luckily it hasn\'t moved my teeth in anyway . The lump is pink and has got a little bit bigger . You can\'t see it when I smile either but it\'s bothering me because Im worried I will have to have an operation to have it removed or something done to it and I hate injections and I\'m quite frightened of hospitals and I hate going to the dentists or doctors as it is . Please help me . Thankyou
