Possible mucocele: It may be a mucocele, but it could also be a host of other things if it is a mucocele it can be removed and should not come back (swollen gland). It is best to check with your dentist and get it evaluated and then treat the problem so it does not cause any other problems. It is pretty easy and not too uncomfortable to remove and it will heal up fine if it is a mucocele.

Can be many things: The pea size mass can be a mucocele, fibroma, salivary gland mass, or a muscle mass etc. It can be many things. See an oral surgeon to get a full examination. A biopsy procedure may be recommended.
