Question

Answer 1

Its pretty obvious you hate the dentist, hence the abscess that is forming in your mouth.  If you don't want to go to the dentist you're going to have to go to someone who can remove all of your teeth otherwise you're going to develop more problem area in your mouth.

I suggest going to a therapist who can help desensitize you to the dentist so you can begin receiving regular care for your teeth.  For the lump; if it is an abscess you will need an antibiotic and then some dental care.  It cold also just be a swollen gland or lymph node but that would also probably be attached to some need for dental work.

Good Luck

Answer 2

If you are young, it may be a wisdom tooth trying to come in.  People in their 20's and even 30's sometimes have problems with that.  Is it sore?  Sometimes the tooth never breaks through but gets swollen and sore off and on throughout your life unless you have it removed.
