Dental visit?: It is most likely something benign so it might heal on its own after a few days, however since I have not looked at it my recommendation is to have a dentist take a look at it especially if it doesn't go away.

Gum abscess: A gum abscess can become very discomfortable when tissues become inflamed or due to the pressure within the abscess. If the infection is not treated, it can damage the surrounding bone and teeth. Call your dentist today for x-rays and treatment.
