Now is the time!: Don't let the anxiety bug you! fortunately, there has been much technological advancement in diagnosis of strange bumps in mouth. Most likely you will not need invasive procedure to find out. Scan technology also makes it easier to see the "lump" under the gum, in 3-d. A special light may be employed to ensure the lump is not cancerous. So visit your dentist/oral surgeon and get peace of mind!

Lump: There is a very fast and easy cure for your anxiety. See a trained Professional for an examination. You may have an infected tooth, judging from your reported signs/symptoms, which is readily treatable. Could this be something as mouth cancer, possibly, but not likely. Go see a Dentist. They fix problems like yours all day long every day. Help is just a phone call away.
