See your dentist: It may be nothing, but could also be something serious to be concerned about. Start by seeing your dentist who will take an xray of the area. He/she may also refer you to an oral surgeon for further investigation. Call today!

Great Question: Lumps, bumps and ball like finding that are observed by patients are best diagnosed by a visit to your local dentist or physician.Having a history relating when you first observed it, if it changes in size or tenderness and if it has changed in texture would help the observing doctor determine the origin of the findings. Although you report that it has been present your whole life, go see your md.
