Have a painful small white pimple looking thing on inside of mouth between gums and inside of lips. doesnt seem serious but really hurts.

It may be serious!: It is most likely an infection and you should see a dentist asap for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Untreated infections can spread and cause serious complications. I wouldn't wait until it flares up and you have severe pain and swelling.
