Im off into another panic.....I have a lump on my gum above my front tooth, which has been checked by 2 dentists who say its fine but my mouth has been uncomfortable (not sure if its psycological) now i have noticed another lump come up around the gum at the side..again just above the tooth this one is a little sore but keep prodding it with my tongue......Im so scared what if dentists have missed something? what do i do.....here i go again......im so fed up of this im really getting depressed and cannot feel happy

i have posted this in another forum by mistake so apologies there

Hi, whenever im very low or feel run down I get a little lump appear on my gum ( usually at the bottom).. Its difficult not to run your tongue over these things but that just makes them more sore. If the dentist has ok'd it I wouldnt worry.Mine have been appearing for years and then going away when I feel less stressed.

Really? It can be the anxiety causing it? Nice to know I'm not alone with this, thanks Zee your reply has helped x

I had one come up the other day infact..I have been going through heightened anxiety for a little while but Ive also had them come up as part of cold symptoms.. I only seem to get colds every 4 or 5 years but I get some of the symptoms, heady, aches, etc.
