Bump on top of rotten tooth?
I recently got a bump on top of my rotten tooth. I have good hygiene and brush 3 times a day and floss after. My tooth started to rot a couple years ago and then chipped peices started falling out. Now, I have a bump on top of that tooth but it doesn't hurt and is the same color as my gums. Should I go to the dentist or take regular medicine? Is there home remedy I could while I wait for an appointment?
Sounds gross and im sorry, im just really worried it could get worse.

Nothing about your health is gross. Why would you leave a bad tooth for such a long time?? As the bump does not hurt, get an appointment as soon as you can. If you are very fortunate perhaps this tooth can still be saved with a crown put on it. Never under estimate having your own teeth. Please, do everything possible to keep them, and never ever just leave it be.

a bump by a tooth you know to be rotted is an abscess. the tooth needs to be extracted or root canaled

it's your body naturally disposing the rotten tooth. time to get it taken care of at the dentist. good luck!
