Oral surgeon: The best solution for you is to see an oral surgeon for a biopsy. It could very well be a swollen salivary gland or a sialolith. Salivary glands are more prevalent than most dentists realize and many times the oral surgeon will remove the entire mass when they do the biopsy. Don't get too worried as it is most likely not anything to fret about. Best of luck!

Undiagnosed: It's important to know what it is just as much as what it's not. No one can be 100% sure what it is without a biopsy. See an Oral Surgeon or ENT specialist for a consultation. They are more trained than a General Dentist to evaluate these situations and suggest the next course of action. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
