Get it checked: There are many things that can present this way. The most common cause is a enlarged salivary gland called a mucocele. These are benign and fairly easy to treat. Have your dentist take a look and get you on the road to treatment. Dont pinch it anymore or try to drain it yourself, that will just make it harder for the dentist to treat.

See your dentist: Some conditions like lumps may require further assessment, tests and your Dentist may book a follow-up appointment or refer you to a specialist to determine a diagnosis. Take care.
