Bumps In Gum For Long. Got After Injecting Anesthetic. Anything To Worry?

Hello, I have 2 bumps in the gum of my mouth on each side, they don't hurt, bleed, and I can't really feel them unless I touch them with my tongue or finger. Are they dangerous? What could they be? I've had them for a LONG time (A year or two, perhaps.) and I've always wondered what they are.
I believe I got them when my dentist injected anesthetic into my gum.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Lump on the gum which is painless can be a due to inflammation and swelling at the time of administration of LA, injury by food products, cracked tooth, vitamin B12 deficiency, tobacco use, smoking, low immunity.
Stress and hormonal changes may also lead to such lesions.
So i would suggest you to consult to an oral surgeon get the clinical examination and evaualtion done, take necessary x-rays. If annoying can be removed surgically.

Hope you find this as helpful,

Regards...
