Hello all once again,
Before anyone asks, I have contacted my dentist already and am waiting to see if they can book me an appointment today or at least tomorrow. But, I have a tooth that 6 months ago (ironically when I was ill with Covid), I had intenste pain and pressure in that tooth and it literally felt like it was going to explode it hurt so bad. I did contact the dentist and while they did respond, I was unable to go in due to being sick with Covid. However, the pain subsided and went away completely. I never had any swelling, no cavity, no fracture in the tooth, etc. Now 6 months later, I just noticed I have a bump above way above that same tooth and off to the side a little bit on my gums. The bump doesn't hurt, the tooth doesn't hurt, nothing out of the ordinary. I worry because some people say that while most abscesses are extremely painful, some of them can be painless. And it worries me that I could have a possible infection spreading and not even know it until it became too late.
To be honest I thought the pain was due to sinus pressure pressing on my teeth when I had Covid and that tooth just happen to be sensitive because of it. The bump isn't bigger than an eraser, but it still concerns me. It kind of looks like a pimple, but at the same time not really, I just don't know how to describe it. If this is in the wrong section I apologize. Thank you all!
