I had a golden crown fitted a couple of years ago, maybe last year I developed a bump on my gum by the gold tooth which I originally thought was just an ulcer, however it keeps coming back so after some extensive googling my ulcer looks more like an abscess.. I haven't been to a dentist to get it checked out yet as it never really causes me much pain, however, I do intend to.
