Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Lump on the front teeth can be periodontal abscess arrising from an infected teeth you need to get an x-ray by the Dentist to confirm the cause, infected teeth can be treated with root canal treatment.
Or it can be a gingival abscess due to accumulation of bacterial plague and calculus deep in the gum pockets i would suggest you to get complete mouth and scaling done.
Hope this helps out.
Regards.
