Specializes in Prosthodontics

Oral Surgeon: See the Oral Surgeon for evaluation and treatment. You may be pulling your tongue through your teeth in this area and may have formed this. Typically a simple surgical removal. If your front teeth have space or are worn/chipped, then they should be fixed to prevent recurrence. Good Luck.

Otolaryngologist: This may well be a benign mass like a papilloma but an otolaryngologist is best qualified to evaluate,advise and treat you. Perhaps the advice will be that it doesn't have to be removed.
