What’s with the hard white bumps on the gums?

White, hard bumps on top of the gums are more commonly known as alveolar bone growths. Alveolar bone hyperplasia is more common in the lingual side of the mandibular alveolar bone and the labial side of the maxillary alveolar bone, in the gums we can see white, round, hard to touch the manifestation of alveolar bone hyperplasia. Alveolar bone hyperplasia is usually asymptomatic and does not require special treatment, as long as the observation can be. If the alveolar bone growth is more serious, it may affect the placement of the abutment when you need to install the teeth, in this case, you can do the alveolar bone repair. In other cases, we just need to observe it and no special treatment is needed. So don’t worry about the whitish hard lumps on the top of the alveolar bone, you can go to the dental hospital for a checkup and confirm that it is alveolar bone growth, you can observe it without treatment.
