I'm 18, don't smoke or drink, but have a small lump in my gums in my lower left cheek. i am getting it looked at tomorrow..... could it be a tumor?

Bump in gums.: Based on your age and lack of smoking history, it would be unusual for this to be a malignant tumor - not impossible, mind you, but unusual. Regardless, it's great that you're getting a local examination of this.
