How To Treat A Hard Lump On Gum?

i had a hard lump in left side of my lower gum in my molar,it does not hurt,when i touch it,or push it softly. It is a damaged tooth. I am worried about it,what should I do?

Does the dentist pull my damage tooth,even if it has a hard lump under it? Please help me.
