Gum Bump & Pimple Treatment in Noosa
We understand how uncomfortable and concerning gum bumps can be. At Morton Dental, we provide gentle care and expert diagnosis.
Gum pimples, also called abscesses or bumps, are often the result of an infection in the gum tissue. These bumps may feel tender, appear swollen, and could be filled with pus if left untreated.
The root cause is usually poor oral hygiene, which allows bacteria to build up and cause inflammation. In some cases, the bump may be a benign growth like a gingival cyst.
Common Symptoms of Gum Bumps
- Swelling & Redness: The area often appears irritated and inflamed.
- Pus Discharge: You may notice fluid or pus under pressure.
- Tenderness: Sensitive to touch, especially while eating.
- Foul Taste: Unpleasant taste due to trapped bacteria or pus.
Who Is at Higher Risk?
While gum pimples can affect anyone, they’re more frequently seen in individuals with:
- Inadequate brushing and flossing habits
- Gingivitis or advanced gum disease
- Tooth infections spreading to the gums
- Weak immune system or underlying medical issues
How Do We Treat Gum Pimples?
Treatment starts with identifying the underlying infection or cause. We may drain the bump, clean the area thoroughly, and prescribe antibiotics if needed. Long-term prevention includes proper daily hygiene, routine check-ups, and professional cleanings.
📞 Don’t ignore signs of infection. If you spot a bump or pimple on your gums, schedule a consultation with Morton Dental immediately. Early care prevents complications and keeps your smile healthy.
