Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a pimple like bump on the gum can be due to causes like deep gum infection leading to accumulation of debris and bacteria deep into the gums causing infection and boil formation..

It can also be a gingival abscess due to deep infection in gums..

In case if the premolar tooth is decayed then it can be a tooth abscess..

I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can help in diagnosis..

In case of gum infection deep scaling and a course of antibiotics can help..

In case of tooth abscess, Root Canal Treatment of tooth followed by antibiotics and painkillers will provide permanent resolution..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
