So, I am terrified and anxious about an issue happening on my lower gum line. I went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years due to pain from my wisdom teeth overcrowding and moving my other teeth. My lower front gum line looks like my jaw bone or teeth(not sure which) is really big and has developed a large bump or ridge. The gums no longer continue flat down from my teeth if that makes sense. The dentist only briefly looked at my teeth/gums and said its a normal response to teeth having lots of pressure on them, the bone bulks up to handle the pressure is what she said. Its been a few weeks and i just noticed that on the bottom
of the ridge it looks like there is white poking through and it has me terrified, i cant recall how much or if any white was poking out at the time. I am obsessing over it and have done every possible google search and cant figure out what it is or what it is called so I can figure out if this is actually normal or not. I feel like maybe the dentist doesnt know what she was talking about. I have searched the forums and no one seems to have my problem. I fear the bone or whatever is sticking out is going to split open my gums. Please help, im so scared but fear if it is okay the dentist will shame me for wasting their time. : (
