My mother, age 45, has been complaining of swelling in her gum for about one month. We visited a dentist, and he said there is some extra tissue growth with color change on the gum. She has no history of tobacco, smoking, gutka, or alcohol use, and there is no ulcer or bleeding.
The dentist prescribed antibiotics and a cream for now. He also mentioned that if it does not improve, he may remove the tissue and send it for biopsy. Because of this, we are very worried and would like proper evaluation and guidance.
