Brief Answer:
Possibility

Detailed Answer:
This could be a calcium deposit. Try not to scrape or irritate the area. It may spontaneously regress but I think it is something your dentist should evaluate next week. He may consider an x-ray if needed.

I dont think this is an emergency - but I think a followup exam is needed

Thanks again for the query,

Let me know if you have any additional followup concerns,
