Abscess: Bump on lower gum.?!
Question: Abscess: Bump on lower gum.?
Hi, i really need some good answers and advice on what to do.
To start off, i want to mention that i am only 15 years old.
It's been almost a year now that my wisdom teeth grew out, along with my wisdom teeth came a weird bump. The bump is in my back lower gum, not exactly under my wisdom tooth but in that general area. When it first appeared, i figured it would go away, as i have had similar bumps that come and go. This bump however, has stayed for about 9-12 months. I've been worried but the only thing keeping me not scared that its cancer is the fact that it came around the time my wisdom teeth started growing and because of the fact that i don't brush and floss 100%. I recently found online about something called an abscess. It matches a lot of what my bump looks like. Whenever i press my tongue or my finger on it, some sort of liquid comes out ( not really sure ).
The only reason i haven't gone to the dentist is because i am terrified of the dentist, but i think this problem isn't going to go away on it's own. Any suggestions on what it is and what i should do?

Answers:
abscess is not good. not really sure what it is but i know i got an abscess and just ignored it and my tooth got really bad and it hurt horribly. you needa go to the dentist.
i hate the dentist too.
Sounds like it could be ulcers. I figured that an abscess would be under the gum around the tooth because you have to get them pulled most of the time.
