Epulis treatment in Aguascalientes

An epulis is a benign growth of tissue that appears on the gums, generally as a small firm mass near the teeth. Although it is not cancerous, it is a good idea to evaluate it in order to identify its origin.

How it presents: a bump on the gum, the color of the tissue or somewhat reddened, that may bleed when brushing or grow little by little.

Related factors: local irritation, tartar, poorly fitted dentures, and, in some cases, hormonal changes such as those of pregnancy.

The dentist and, in particular, the periodontist are the professionals who evaluate gum lesions; when tissue analysis is required, the oral pathologist takes part. If you notice a bump on the gum that does not go away, it is a good idea to have it reviewed by a dental health professional.
