Get seen: It could be several things. The most likely would be a traumatic fibroma from biting it or rubbing against a broken tooth. Next most likely is a papilloma. Both can be removed very easily. It could be something more sinister, so it is necessary to have an oral surgeon or dentist look at it. Probably cut it off and send for biopsy. Not traumatic and relatively inexpensive peace of mind.

OK, see ENT Dr: Time for evaluation since it is interfering with talking (eating/etc. Next). Ear-nose-throat specialist is best first place to start.

Need Consultation: See an oral surgeon dentist as this may be a serious tumor. Hope you have not waited too long since oral cancer is life threatening.
