Hi donna,

By any chance were you told that you may have an unerupted extra tooth?
I think it's a good idea to see your dentist to find out what that white lump is. It could just be the bony area filling in the socket, but having it checked would be wise.

Please let us know what he says!

This appeared a week after tooth extraction, i thought this was just normal, but I noticed that it's growing bigger. It doesn't hurt and the wound surrounding the white lump is healing well. i was just wondering if any of you have experienced the same thing coz I am a bit of a hypochondriac and I am freaking out...

Thanks!
