How To Treat A Bump On Left Underside Of The Tongue?

My 22 year old son went to the dentist yesterday and the dentist noticed a bump on the left, underside of his tongue. The bump was a little smaller than the size of a dime and slightly lighter color than the rest of the tongue. Dentist recommended he see an oral surgeon. My son lives in a different state than me so I have not seen the bump. How serious could this be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bump on the left underside of the tongue could be benign lesion like traumatic fibroma or inflamatory hyperplasi. Nothing to be panic, it is a benign condition. Consult a oral physician and get it surgically removed under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
