Pimple on gums

[cateyes1]

I discovered one on my gum, does anyone know what that means?....I brush often 

[countrygirl12]

I doubt it is a pimple.  Google "bump on gums". I did and a bunch of stuff came up. But with no more info than this it is hard to say.  I have in the past had places that I guess you could call a pimple and they went away.  Probably nothing to worry about.

If you google it and read the info you would know more which one applied more to you.  Just stay away from WebMD because the end result will be you have cancer and are going to die.

Everything on WebMD ends badly. lol

I really have no idea

It might be a canker sore. Those can happen even if you brush consistently. Or maybe you burned that part of your gum and it's a blister. You could try rinsing your mouth with salted water to see if that will help it heal, but it will probably go away on its own. But keep an eye on it. If it doesn't start to get better or gets worse you might want to go to the dentist.

that is awful, gingivitis no joke  sorry for your discomfort I wish you

I had one once and kept pinching it and yuck came out.  When I told the dentist, here it was an infection from my tooth but since it drained into my gum (causing the pimple), I had no pain.  Had the tooth pulled.

Sorry you have this issue. You probably have a canker sore. I get one if I eat too much salt or too much candy. There are over the counter products which give relief to canker sores. Just google it and pick a product out to try.

It could be an abscess. They look like pimples on your gum.

I've never heard of that. maybe you should ask your dentist to be sure.

I am not sure, maybe it is just something that will just go away on its own

     Go to your dentist ASAP. It is a blister...that can get infected.
     It needs to be treated immediately. Do not touch it.
     Use some mouthwash and apply Orajel with a Q-tip if it hurts.
     Watch what you eat. Do not make it worse.                                                                                                     
     Visit a dental clinic that will see you the same day.

That's what I was thinking too....annoying for sure but not sure how much you can do about it

It could be a canker sore or it could be an abscess in which case you need to see a dentist and get an antibiotic to get rid of the infection.

I think probably canker sore.

Download the app "Ada". It takes into account your symptoms and gives you the most probable diagnosis (but obviously it may not be 100%). Ever since I found it, I use it way more than simply googling - it doesn't tell me I have 8 days to live.

Take a q-tip and dab some tea tree oil on it.  Tea tree oil is good for mouth sores and when treated with it, it usually goes away within a day or two.
