Lumps: New lumps that develop near or next to teeth almost always represent infections. Untreated infections can spread and cause serious complications (even without any pain), so please see your dentist asap to determine what treatment options you have.

See a dentist : All Lump must be checked and x-ray for the differential diagnosis between tooth infection or other infection, like gum or sinus. See a dentist for check-up, imaging and treatment. Hope it helps.
