Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The growth over the gums can be a pyogenic granuloma or peripheral ossifying fibroma. Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get a second opinion. Your dentist might have not seen such cases, so take opinion from another physician. Once the biopsy report comes we can treat further, if the lesion reoccurs.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
