Small, painless swollen gum below/between teeth..It's been a year, what do I do?
Hello,
I've always had a fear of dentists naturally that were worsened by some very bad experiences in my childhood when it was only supposed to be checkups E.G surgery I was forced into, fillings without numbing agent etc. I have not been into a dentist a good few years but have been trying to take care of my teeth so I didn't have to.
Roughly a year ago my gum began swelling sort of between my bottom canine and incisor, it wasn't painful and was slightly squishy. It's always slightly sore looking and doesn't seem to have any liquid inside of it. I've left it so long now I've come to ignore it but as of recently my family are trying to urge me to book a dentist appointment and I am adamant on not wanting to go.
Can I go on ignoring it?
Regards,
Jen.
