Bump on gums growing in size

Q: What are the symptoms or signs of gum disease? I have a bump on the right side of my gums on my lower jaw. I have had it for a few years and it has gotten bigger over time. Very rarely it will cause immense pain (aching and throbbing) and form into a headache. It’s about the size of a pea.

A: I would have this checked immediately by an experienced laser periodontist (specialist) who has extensive knowledge in oral medicine. This bump can be caused by a number of different things, so even though it isn’t always painful, please do not ignore it. Get it checked out and treated ASAP.
