I have a dark red bump on my gums, it looks like a bubble filled with blood, what could this be?

Question

i'm 18 and this moning when i started to brush my teeth i noticed a dark red bump on my lower right gums, where my wisdom teeth would be. However my wisdom teeth still have't come it, at all. The bump looks like a perfect round bubble filled with blood. It doesn't hurt, so i have left it alone for now. It's about the size of this "O" maybe a little bigger, and it's a perfect circle. What could this be? What should i do?

Answer 1

it could possibly be an absess.

is it on top of your gums or on the side?

i worked at an endodontist office (root canal guy) for a year, and tons of people came in with mysterious red blistery bumps on their gums.

they were typically absesses.

i'm not a dentist, so i don't really know what they are caused by or really what they are besides blister-like bubbles on the gums.

if it stays around for more than a week, i would go into your regular dentist to get it checked out, or even call and describe it to them, it could save you a trip.

hope this helps!
