What Could Be The Reason For Having A Round Pink Bump Between My Lower Front Bottom Teeth?

I have a perfectly small round pink bump between my lower front bottom teeth on my gum and my dentist wants to see me in 6 weeks to see if it is gone, I am fearing mouth cancer! I am only 22 years old and never smoked or drank alcohol. Please advise what this could be? Thank You, J

Hello and welcome.

Be sure it is not cancer.The lesion could be an abscess if pain is there.Painless lesions could be mucoceal or fibroma.Therfore do not worry wait and watch for Changes in lesion.
Meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene.If required you can get the Histo pathological test done to determine the exact nature of lesion.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
