Hi Lenzi,

The lump could be due to a number of things. It may have been there for a long time and you didn't know it.... it could be a normal part of your anatomy ... or something could be brewing. Try not to worry about it and refrain from touching it as that could just make it more sore. When you see the surgeon make sure he evaluates the sore lump and if you have not had an xray done of that other root canaled tooth, it would be wise to have one done.

Please keep us posted on how things are going.

Like I said, I cannot see it when I look in the mirror (no white or red lesions). Everything looks normal. I have to press pretty hard for it to hurt. I only noticed it because my daughter squeezed my face. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't know it was there. The bump is very very small. In fact, I had to question whether it was even a lump, but I'm pretty sure it is. Regardless, it hurts when i touch it.
