What Should Be Done When There Is A Hard Round Lump Inside The Lower Gum?

hello
Thank you.
I have just noticed a very hard round lump in my outer left inside my lower gum. it is bright red about 1/4 th inch in diameter.
I would like to know what it might be and should I go to a dentist or another kind of doctor or can I treat it some other way.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

There could be presence of infection.
I would suggest you to get a thorough checkup done.
Also take an IOPA radiograph of the region.
Treatment plan depends upon the diagnosis.


Take care!
